I'd imagine that includes 'marking your territory' all over their face.

Quote from: Nuclear Catastrophe;101553The best they can hope for is 'lackey', and so you should attach yourself to the most prominent individual you can.

Why not go ahead and just tell everyone rolling a character like that to be a lackey of a DM faction PC that is doing well, or just being able to be successful as it is about as prominent as it gets?  I think there is absolutely nothing added to the experience in attaching to a prominent PC and is no different than doing the same without a min/max half-orc.  Going for a PC that would become a more interesting pair if they are around during one's playtimes would be much more interesting.  This would probably prevent cases of me thinking "OH WOW IT IS A POWERBUILD LACKEY OF (Insert faction character name)" and probably will prevent other heavily cynical players from thinking so and help hilarity ensue should you choose to aid someone who is going to be completely defendant on your min/maxness (perhaps a PC mistaken for being prominent and is kind of inept and just has shiny things, perhaps?).

Why be a generical lackey when you can be a sidekick?

What the fudge are you wibbling about? :)

I honestly don't think you can play 6 int, 8 wis, 6 cha properly and still have fun AND be enjoyed by others.  And to top it off, portraying and being CE.

It's basically 3 points away from a wild animal NPC that sits outside a city and just charges at whatever living thing it spots.

The only way to play a sweet min/max half-orc is the GLORRY GLUMGAR route.

Honestly I wouldn't even bother. You'll be short-lived and will miss out on basically all the best points of EFU, being the depth, plotting and elaborate PC-PC developments.

And from a mechanical standpoint, it seldom pays to be min-maxed. Your Will save will make you a sitting duck, and you'll probably die a shitty death on a quest somewhere or in PvP if you're CE. <_<

Gorry was 10 int, 10 wis, 6 cha.

Be like everyone else.  Play an angry man with a sword who despises everything and everyone around him and occasionally beats the shit out of someone who doesn't like that.

Like a PC without a dumpstat.

I made a min max half orc once for the fun of it. i made one sending, and suddenly i found myself surrounded by (a horde of) Dms saying i shouldn't even be doing that, so ye, that kinda pc shouldn't be made at all, i guess.

Or make it a team pc with another player (your "master"), with common background. Although with the random Zig teleporting, i'm not even sure dual pcs can be made...

There are other options like the shipwreck, for PC groups. Or if you wer standing by eachother when the Zig pulled you in, perhaps.

The beauty of NWN and EFUA is your imagination is the limit so long as it fits within the setting/DM interpretaion
