In addition, I believe there isn't one GM who hasn't taken a PC or NPC as a favorite. Sometimes a player will come up with a character that is just perfect. One day it will die, but in a way befitting it's role, as any epic hero does. Don't let this all end with one lousy die roll. After all, the roll isn't important, it's what you do with it.
Gaming is supposed to be fun.
And the computer should be the most objective GM possible. No one has so far written a counterpoint. Questions and comments are most welcome.
