All you who elect to wait: I salute you. Due to the high sexual pressures of modern society, many give in and end up regretting it. I didn't think that many were willing to wait; it's really quite inspiring. I was beginning to think that I was a member of an endangered species, because it is hard to keep rolling those will saves. I, too, am waiting for marriage, for someone that I truly love and adore before I agree to anything sexual. Whether or not the special someone exists is hypothetical at best at this moment in time. And that brings me full circle to the original topic of this post. Why am I single? Many factors. I've been told numerous times by women that I've been interested in, "Oh, you're a great guy and the girl that ends up with you will be very lucky because you'd be an adoring boyfriend/husband, but I don't feel a spark between us." Whatever that's supposed to mean. That, and there aren't many nerd girls near where I live who aren't already taken and I don't drive. Just to name a few.

Sounds like something the three highest int score amoral PCs are trying to do in my campaign. There's an NE tiefling wizard bent on world dominion, a TN dwarf artificer that uses his knowledge and craft skills to dominate various cities' economies, and a NE drow biomancer who wants to spread the Death Song Plague just to see what it does. The party splitting is really annoying though, because all the rest of the good and neutral PCs just want to beat the crap out of undead. It's like I'm running two separate campaigns -.- As far as my PC in the other game is concerned, he is anything but merry. Morose, somber, and joyless, his only mission in life to eliminate injustice and wickedness wherever he finds it, for his fiancé was murdered by a crime syndicate. This creates friction between my PC and the guy who plays as the daughter of the tiefling wizard. That campaign is a non-canon continuation of mine set 28 years later where we assume that the tiefling wizard took over the world, pretty much pulled a Sauron, and got trapped inside a magic amulet after becoming too powerful. The tiefling psionic fighter girl wants to rez her father and regain her throne, but my PC, Mordren Miseris, is from the Papal State, the arch enemy of the former Assanian Empire, so the prospect of Emperor Drake Assani (the wizard) coming back doesn't sit well with Mordren. Furthermore, the goons who killed my PC's fiancé used to be the Emperor's lackeys, so yeah. The games usually consist of me trying to prevent Malen from using her high cha score from gaining too much power, though I'm an int rogue, so Mordren isn't the best at being persuasive. But he's quick and smart, and when I class up to vigilante, I'll be able to cast a ton of insta-death spells and stealth buffs. Malen's higher dpr won't mean anything, because you cannot hit what you cannot see and psionic Combat Sense won't matter. Same goes for all the evil and guilty people in the world, for Mordren will be there waiting in the shadows to deliver a harsh verdict upon them for their crimes: guilty, death.
