Alright, as if I don't have enough characters, I'm brainstorming yet another PC to play.
What does everyone say to this idea:
A cleric who will slay another PC by surprise, then resurrect the person to receive thanks, a reputation of helping others constantly and hopefully, pay. Would this be bothersome to people or would you welcome it? I wouldn't want to do it if it annoys players.

I'm good with it. Weird characters are loads of fun - to some extent. (lol Figure that one out)

So far, that's a 100% approval rating. Things are looking up!

i've been doing some thinking about this. if someone manages to successfully escape you initial attacks, your cover would be blown out of the water. it would really only be a matter of time until that happens. if the cover is a major basis of the character, you're going to find a large hole that needs filled once the truth gets out.
it could be good for a while, but you'd need to know what direction the character would go in once his plot is discovered. there's definitely plenty of avenues open from there that will make for some good rp.

I think I have all holes filled, but if I don't I'm fairly good at doing things impromptu (That's how I've done all six of my characters except for the basic background).

A mercenary cleric is one thing. A cleric that is based on the idea of non-consensual PVP as his introduction seems a bit shaky and weak to me. People will always carry their first impression of your character, and indirectly of you as a player as well. There's simply too much potential for biting your character in the a$$; and quite possibly your credibility as a impartial DM as well, if you did this to a newcomer(s). I'd caution holding off on the idea.

I never said anything about non-consensual PVP. There is a difference between surprising the PC and surprising the player behind that PC.

Heh im undecided.......you have a good point with the fun thing...but Ming also have a good point as some players can carry the RP to RL and that could suck bad...
