He's really a branch of the munchkin thread. I like stats, so I was trying to pack as many stat adds into a 25 year old as I could. (He gets 6 adds, which is the best I've been able to do.) But then when putting him together I got to liking him a bit more than as just a power grab. He might actually be playable, especially if the 6 spear skill were changed to two 4 weapon skills.

The biggest problem with playing him would be that the other players probably wouldn't like him.

It's a good thing he didn't end up on the Munchking thread! With those contacts and affiliation and lack of superior quality stuff, he'd be laughed off the boards! :twisted:

That's what I said. :-) I started thinking of him as a character after I realized I could really justify that series of lifepaths.

Besides, with just the standard lifepaths, I couldn't really compare with the pit fighting monstrosity!

Hear ye all BW GM's reading this character description:

This is a cool character, and he would do well in play. However, the trio of exp 6 skills are completely unnecessary. GMs should hand this character back to their players and ask them to spread those points around to other skills or to open new skills.

Why? The character would then actually be fun to play -- he'd still be quite good at what he does, and have a chance at getting better.

Good job, El Gorade!

Hey, give the 6s a break! He was burned for the munchkin thread after all! :twisted:
