So anyway. Letīs say you and your pals are stuck in a beholder lair. A few of your friends are wizards, and a few others are fighters.
Now what will you do?
Risk death with a straight forward honorable charge at the creatures, or fireball 'em from the relative safety of distance and continue by hiding until the creatures again settle into "fireballable" groups? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Or, letīs say youīve got an cheesy item for a decent price available.
The GAMER, who is only out for a challenge, might skip it in favor of a challenge, but a roleplayer?
Hmm, methinks he should jump at the opportunity! [img]redface.gif[/img]


Or maybe we can discuss casting... Whatīs it called? resist magic or somesuch?
Well, anyway, casting an friendly magic resisting spell on a dragon (in effect, lowers the dragons MR without turning it hostile); a gamer maybe sees no justification for using such an cheap trick, while an inventive roleplayer will easily come up with a long list of possibilities that justify such action.

EDIT: And thanks for the welcome BTW, though it isnīt maybe necessary, iīve merely forgotten both the name and the password for my old account here. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Not to say i ever was an all that active member but still. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
