Some REALLY get under my skin, some just itch.

but, I am often very guilty of #7, the Halting role. I know it is a shortcoming in my game, but I have trouble fixing it.


For instance, my last character, Daryaeis, was a wood elf bard who believed that "song" came from outside of him from an Awen, and that only a bard who never used his vocal chords could allow the Awen to take over his voice for song.

He was even mentioned in the role contest before this recent one.

but...my problem was that I like to make roles that are wide open and can go different directions and allow character interactions to point me in what direction I end up going....

But with a bard who can't talk, it was hard to get many character interactions...so the role somewhat stagnated.

One of these days I'll break down the rank 36 "wall of stagnation" that has stopped all but a small handful of my characters who have a role.
