Amnesia.
Munch: "Wait a minute. You're telling me that I can sink more points into Slaymaster the Human Quisinart, AND I don't have to come up with some lame-assed backstory? Sign me UP!" I have also learned to hate Common Sense, because some players seem to take it as a license to blame everything on the GM. "Hey, my character has an INT of 6, and I've got common sense, so you're supposed to tell me when I'm not doing the absolutely smartest possible thing." |
