So the group I am in restarted the campaign, and the player with the most annoying concept asked if he could re-spin his Character keeping the exactly the same background.
Although the GM said sure, we were talking afterwards about just killing the character for spite if he continued along the same path as he was with the previous one. My suggestion was either to make him create a new character, or . . . Alter the characters background to something akin to the Manchurian Candidate. But the question I was wondering is how often does Player Character Death occure in most games? And is it wrong to look at a Player and say, "A toilet seat from a semi-ballistic plane that was taken out by terrorists slams into you at high velocity as your standing there wondering ???."? |
