In the end, you decide to stick with a bard. Someone has to be the quality roleplayer.
Luke begins his character description. "My character, obviously, is Sakura Hirisawa. She's a twelve year old fighter who, despite her age and physique (She is only 4 foot 1), is easily the most skilled warrior in the entire kingdom. She wields a spiked chain, has 18 dexterity, and her two feats are Attacks of Opportunity Forever, giving her an unlimited number of attacks of opportunity per round, and Like a Giant, which allows her to threaten surrounding squares as if she were size Bigg instead of size Average Joe.
Born to a very strict aristocratic family, she ...
You wake up several hours later as Luke is finishing up his character description. A five gallon cookware bowl is on the table in front of him with the remains of his snack.
The DM looks around, "Okay, uh. These characters weren't exactly what I was expecting, but I suppose they'll work..."
"Now then," he begins. "Sit close, and I will weave a tale of swords, sorcery, and steam. A tale fraught with peril, but also with opportunity. A tale told and re--"
"Sup dweebs, what's this shit you got here?" A seven foot tall mass of rippling biceps, hair gel, and Tapout clothing intrudes on the DM's exposition. Luke hisses and releases a pungent defensive musk into the air.
The DM sighs, "Chet, I told you, this isn't shit, it's Tabletop Roleplaying."
"Yeah, well, it looks like shit to me." He pulls up a chair and sits down. "What do you even do?"
"Are you actually curious or are you just fucking with us?"
"Come on, little bro, I'm serious," Chet says and gives the DM a noogie. "I reaches my babe-doin' and beer-bongin' quota for this month so I've got nothing to do"
The DM can't resist bringing new converts into the fold, and walks Chet through character creation, despite Luke's vehement protests. MCR and Dorothy are ambivalent.
"Alright, so I'm gonna be like... some kinda warrior. A spartan warrior! He's got, like, a faux hawk and a scar on his eye, and he spends all his time drinkin' and smokin' the bud, yeeeeee... and all the honeys want his seed, brah, all of'em."
What do you think about Chet's entry into the game? Should he stay? Should he leave? What?
