Approval

Marcus is nearly ready for approval. I've got a copy of The Divine, so I shall be checking that to see if there are any things in it that Marcus might be interested in, or possibly need in order to maintain his monk-disguise.

J

  • Great! I don't have it, so any insight there would be appreciated. - JB for M

Flaws

  • Optimistic (major version). Just wondering... (I know this is a canon flaw, which I personally feel is a bit weird, but there are a lot of weird flaws under 5th ed), why you took this as a major flaw and not a minor one. What do see as being the difference between the two levels?--Perikles 10:13, 1 February 2006 (PST)

It is a little weird, I know, which is partly why I started with more Minor ones, since I have a better handle on them, I think. As for Majorly optomistic, I think it means that he's going to be sure things will work out even when it seems obvious it won't, and tend to act as though (particularly for him) Diplomacy will be able to solve the problem. It's not quite reckless, but it will mean that he won't know when to quit. - JB

I thought the difference was weither it pushed the char into (sub)stories/complications or not. p37 says "A major personality flaw should always be something that makes the character act." while a minor "strongly collor much of what she does but do not realy interfere with or guide his life." --Samuel (Phaedrus) 13:21, 1 February 2006 (PST)
