Re: Build a Better Mousetrap - Janna's PbP Design Thread
Describe your guy as a slab of beef with rippling pecs and 44-inch biceps if you'd like. Just understand that mechanically you're going to have to RP and explanation for why he can't seem to lift that couch; maybe his massively muscled fingers can't get a good grip.
Confrontational was meant more in the OOC sense and again, was pretty much based on some things from AWMBI that I don't think I need to keep going back to.
You could definitely play him that way. He wouldn't be able to back it up mechanically if someone actually decided to call him on it and take a swing but you absoultely could play Joe Pesci from Goodfellas or something.To put it another way, you think that saying you have a Physical stat of 2 means you can play a tough guy, based on this

I should have broken that statement down a bit more. You're welcome to be confronational with NPCs, enemies and even other PCs so long as it isn't disruptive to anybody else's enjoyment of the game. If you can play an asshole that makes the game more fun then more power to you; if you want to plot the murder of other PCs or start randomly raping everyone that you come across... not interested, sorry.... Are you serious? You mean to say, I can't make a character that's an asshole? That's naturally, thinking he's a badass, is confrontational? For god's sakes, why didn't you say that was the case? I would have immediately sided with host! Now I really feel like an idiot, my apologies. I thought I'd have more options for characters than that, and it was ignorant of me.
