This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

QuoteSo ... The G-d "absolves" a blood-sucking murderer - who will continue to be a blood-sucking murderer because that's exactly what a vampire is.
Well;

1) the concept of the character was was vampire who wasn't a blood-sucking murderer, and

2) what a vampire is, exactly, is a fictitious being so...

Enjoying the discussion though!
Also realised I may have come across as a bit of a dick here. My apologies, it was early and I was only one coffee in...
The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

Quote from: Effete on August 07, 2023, 08:19:50 PMMy point is, instead of dismissing the idea because, "oh gosh, too many ways to get hurt," consider that part of the challange of playing the character. It's the Glass Cannon archetype. Wizards are notoriously squishy, especially at lower levels, but people enjoy playing them because their magic is insanely potent.
And it's a fair point. I've ditched this particular character concept because if his main way to sustain himself if by taking the blood of humans (or other sentients), then by definition the character becomes a monster and thus a target which of course means the rest of the PCs are targets. Then the game becomes the Adam Show which is a bit crap for everyone else.

In all fairness, this is an issue for the GM to figure out. If he signs off on the concept, then that is approval for you to play the character as you envisioned. If the GM expects this to cause problems for the other players, he should get buy-in from them as well. It isn't your fault if the character is approved and the GM springs a "gotcha" on the party.

Anyway, good luck.
