Yeah, our DM only rewards ROLEplaying. ROLLplayers tend to get fucked out of the good stuff. I was doing really well with my kobold because I was playing him so well. Unfortunately, certain characters are more self-destructive than is worth saving XD

That's quite impressive. I think if my cleric gets ganked again I'm going to roll a Barbarian and see if I can bump him up to like 4th or 5th level so I can tank hard when I get abandoned. I think the DM said he was going to roll up a barbarian NPC companion for my character, though, so that at least I'll have something watching my back when the thief runs off to stir the shit pot. The most hilarious part of the thief was the way she would blame the kobold for everything. She was surprisingly well-behaved for a thief, but that mostly just meant she didn't contribute jack shit. My kobold stirred that pot pretty good, but things always turned out decently for everyone in the end, even when he died. He was the only one not okay after that...

I'm playing with a party of chaotic or neutral characters. my neutral good cleric is probably going to be a debbie downer...
