Im a long time player, I started out about 7 years ago. D&D 3.5 is my fav and I know all the books almost by heart. I enjoy really getting into the character im playing, having done things (like letting a bad guy go) for no other reason then I couldn't justify it by my alignment, loot be damned. I have a favorite character to play, though he really only works in mid to high LV games. he is a withered old man "The Mad Alchemist" who is able to transform into a horrible creature thanks to his secret potion that he is always augmenting (I like to stack templates rather than class LVs)
