[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 7994518, member: 926"] Nice way to exemplify one of the benefits of playing the game! You're never [I]really[/I] stuck inside anywhere when you're playing D&D! A group of my friends and I (actually the very same people whom I originally started playing the game with decades ago) have been playing a campaign over Skype for almost two years now, since half of them moved away years ago and we can't meet up in person to play anymore. And they are [I]still[/I] the very best D&D players I have ever had the privilege of gaming with. One of them once portrayed the greatest example of having an ability score reduced that I have ever seen; it was back about 15 years ago in a v3.5 game, and he was playing a high Charisma Cleric. He had 5 points of his Charisma drained by some kind of monster or other, and he immediately went from being a bright-eyed, enthusiastic, talkative, and assertive man to being a sullen, furtive, gloomy, and diffident guy who barely spoke unless prompted. We got him fixed up by the end of the game, but for the duration until then it was (appropriately!) like he was playing a completely different character, all because his Charisma was cut by almost a third. It was a genuinely awe-inspiring example of role-playing that I will never forget. [/QUOTE]
