Because if it were cohesive you wouldn't be a special snowflake, you'd have an unusual character It's only really a problem when a player tries to draw an inordinate amount of attention to themselves, or if what -65347972 describes happens Anonymous 03/26/19(Tue)09:47:53 No.65348632 65347938 (OP) When you break the lore to make a character that should be impossible in the setting so that you can feel unique. The GM needs to alter parts of the setting for this dude or create special rules for it (not that there is anything wrong with properly executed special rules.) Very often these characters have real no flaws and their back ground suggests that they should be better than they statistically are Anonymous 03/26/19(Tue)10:13:06 No.6534876565349214 65347938 (OP) It's a character that has a bunch of unique features or background elements used as a crutch by bad writers Take a character and strip them down to just dialogue, thoughts, and actions.
