The ultimate focus

[John]

Rule Allanak with a... bone fist? 

I was talking to someone about a D&D campaign where the players become kings. I said "We need to rule the country with... a, ummm.. what's the opposite to iron fist?" I seriously didn't know the correct phrase, simply because I'm so accustomed to Allanak (Velvet glove, I was told).

EDIT: Tweaked to lessen the CCP cost while maintaing the crippling overspecialization.

I think I'd want to kill myself the moment I typed 'score', saw 'warrior/aggressor', and realized what I'd spent one of my scant three special-apps-per-year on!

My favorite was:

'commit every illegal act in spectacular fashion'

Nice.

My favorite spectacular illegal act would be adultery.

Bio everything my character does in Dr. Seuss style rhymes.

I got my training in the Byn,
I learned to fight so now I win.

Title all bios with altered movie titles.

[Cind]

Guild: unwitting 'gicker who manifests at least one month after chargen
Point: Allanak
Focus: Publicly masturbate in front of a templar and survive.

Maybe the sudden manifesting will help your dwarf survive to his or her next focus?

I thought of this focus the other day and couldn't stop laughing... I wonder how realizable it is.

[Morrolan]

I wonder how realizable it is.

Totally realizable. Just act like a newb who is unfamiliar with the code, use say instead of talk at the bar, write out your pronouns, put conversation into emotes, and refuse to capitalize or punctuate.

The Templar will probably let you live.

Guild: Assassin
Focus: Kill all the humans.

I'm not very creative.

[Large Hero]

Guild: Any

Focus: Find out the foci of other dwarves and complete them before they can. Then, destroy the product of the focus in front of them.

[Cind]

Guild: Assassin
Focus: Kill all the humans.

I'm not very creative.

That's awesome.

I'd probably log in and hang out in the appropriate area if I knew someone really were trying to kill all the humans for real and wouldn't just give up at some point.

[Morrolan]

Guild: Assassin
Focus: Kill all the humans.

Approached correctly, this could be awesome.  A careful and thorough dwarf, after doing population studies of other animals in the wild, might realize that killing males does not impact reproduction rates, but that killing females does.

Because the real danger here is that the limit on human population is not their ability to have children, but their ability to feed, water, and protect them from outside dangers.  So killing a few humans does not change the human population.

Spoiling their resources and strengthening their enemies, however, does.

[Bast]

I know killing people is often part of the game but I try to never start a pc with killing others and ruining their fun in mind.

[RogueGunslinger]

That'll be my next pc. Made to intentionally ruin peoples good time by murder.

[FantasyWriter]

I had a PC turned down once because his focus was elven genocide.
The staffer thought it was too PK oriented out of the box.

They obviously lacked Morrolan's creativity.

My fun is never ruined by a PC killing me. It breaks up the monotony to dying to NPCs, animals and the environment.

Agreed. All stories end eventually, it's more fun if there's some other story continuing by your death. Getting run over by a Carru doesn't enhance anyone's storyline.

Yes, I've had 20-30 characters, and one death from a PC (it made me feel so happy  )
