On paper wanted to try elf romantic, in reality the edges never came together (new world order) and never got into the groove of the char for some reason. Accidentally killing a goodie while in the process of killing an anti-paladin is now a big no-no apparently and that just completely soured the char for me despite not having any repercussions immediately. That kill probably meant no maran in forever, plus looking forward to whatever aeons of atonement and a very real possibility (for a bard) to kill another and get kicked out for sure is just meh.
Whomever ranked me, thank you! Too bad I didn't get to explore like I planned with this one. GLWMN!
P.S. Hardcore Fort policy is actually fine, no knock on imms, I just couldn't deal with it as a player. And it's kinda not fair to bards and similar classes. The fact that I managed to avoid killing a goodie for ~60 hours is a miracle.
