       Harping on the nature of the hero.
 Except for some special traits required class hero, the player 
can choose any character traits for their geroya.Odnako before 
creating a character, think, and if you can beat it?  The main 
attraction of games like AD'D - it is an opportunity harping 
character of the hero, in this do not choose a character that 
hard to beat (like a good greedy troll), or if it will not get 
you intersno.Esli you feel that you have chosen not the 
character, it is best to immediately stop the game and enter it 
again under a different harakterom.Igroku who thinks that a 
good law-abiding character is too "Grim", even though a good 
hero should be choose the kind of chaotic geroya.Drugomu

same player, eager to
poizobrazhat of himself fighting against evil, just
uphold justice, you should choose a law-abiding good geroya.Ne
afraid to use your imagination! Choose the hero character 
rukovostvuyas the words "My character goes exactly also, as I 
have done in his place. "  Keep in mind that the game revolves 
"around igrokov.Geroy group, trying to make

everything himself, and quarreling with everyone, is
"Living corpse" that is long it does not prozhivet.Vsega must 
take into account the nature of other heroes in your gruppe.Tak 
do not forget that some combinations, such as law-abiding kind 
and any type of evil, are "explosive." If the characters (if 
the players really play up their characters) 
priderzherzhivayutsya opposite views, then it may very well 
happen that group who were going to go camping

treasure, there will be disagreements and
Heroes (and maybe even their owners) will attack each other.
 Now you have to say a few words about the evil characters, 
because I have no doubt that there will be people who choose 
this particular Type haraktera.Prezhde all, I want to note that 
AD'D play "heroic." And what can be a hero villain? "If the 
players beat the evil characters are contained in within their 
characters, then such a group unlikely to reach beyond the 
enchanted bridge, unless you choose a leader, a place which, 
all together will try to take Guided by the principle of "In 
the war of all good!. "neutral evil characters

should be slightly (or "mnozhko) choknutymi.U they should have 
their own views on mir.Haotichnye evil characters will

attempt to throw off all the risk on someone 
drugogo.Zakonoposlushnye evil must have a "code" which must be 
"recorded" their rules of conduct in the group, though 
law-abiding evil will always try to something to crank in the 
"Code" currently on polzu.Znayte about people that can not

exist in harmony group consisting of evil Gere!
 Let us imagine that a group consisting
of different characters, divides the extracted 
sokrovischa.Predpolozhim that the group includes one 
representative of each character (although in practice it is 
nearly impossible case, but to consider the behavior is very 
well-suited).  Good law-abiding will say: "Before

as we went on this trip, we
agreed to divide the treasure equally and
what we should sdelat.Teh who died, we
should try to revive, and if this
an impossible task, we must give some
Treasure relatives of the deceased. "
 "Yes, we agreed to share the treasures
equally, confirm law-abiding
evil, and we do not have to reckon with those who
how potratil.Eto not my fault that someone has spent more than 
ya.Tak I do not remember that we agreed on a waste of money on 
voskreshenie.My should share the money between the living! ".

 Waving a piece of paper in the conversation breaks a 
law-abiding neutral. "As good for you two, I joined your

mneniya.Ya just wrote a paper on
which we shall share the treasure! ".
 Neutral good think and say: "By
I think this is the right of equal reshenie.Esli someone has 
spent more money, it will teach him next time ekonomit.No Yet 
the resurrection seems to me good idea, and we must defer part 
of money for this. "

 Having heard all these opinions present
Neutral nothing skazhet.On not join to any mneniyu.Esli as a
person tries to take everything, then he immediately
oppose it.
 Neutral evil died during the campaign, so
that he did not skazhet.Ego same necro
The view of this: "The group must raise
me and give me my share!. "And to myself
He, again, necro, says: "I hope
they do not find a big diamond that's how I got during the 
campaign. "  Chaotic good is his dissenting opinion: "All your 
opinions are wrong, I think we should share the treasures of 
zaslugam.Ved some of you were in the rear when others were 
fighting! "As for the resurrection, I would willingly raised 
chaotic neutral, was a good fellow, though a little crazy, but 
I'm not going to spend money on the resurrection neutral evil! "

 Brazenly stepped forward chaotic evil. "You
perhaps forgotten what I was doing important work, I guarded 
the rear! But do not worry, I'll take a little, just the magic 
stick and casket dragotsennostyami.Da, I still take

the proportion of deaths, because they do not need them. "
 A chaotic neutral would also mertv.Esli
he was alive, would take the other side, where he
longer distances, but if could not choose,
'd tossed a coin.
 Now consider another situatsiyu.Pust
group has not yet found a treasure, and is
only towards the middle of the ruined castle nim.V group met 
the enemy, a terrible Gorgon, the lord of which is mad voin.Za 
them are dressed in chain peasants captured from a neighboring 
village.  Law-abiding evil immediately (but without losing his 
head) to rush into battle, because his duty to protect the 
peasants! "It will be fight as long as its not ottaschat

druzya.On not seek death, but will try to neutralize the evil 
creatures (Gorgon and the warrior).

 Law-abiding evil and rush in
boy.Ved gorgon and a warrior breaking the law! But
if the forces are unequal, then he would turn
and most likely will return with reinforcements, capture 
criminals and publicly their nakazhet.Esli same by the time 
krestne die, well ... the worse will be punished.  Law-abiding, 
too, will take a neutral boy.V in his eyes gorgon and a warrior 
prestupniki.On as law-abiding evil, is not going to risk their 
lives and, if forces are not equal, then he would turn, but if 
he comes back with reinforcements, then punish 
prestupnikov.Odnako fate of the peasants did not care.

 Neutral good is not going to fight with any
Gorgone, nor voinom.Odnako he tries to
to save the peasants as anything different. This
to do, but why risk
own life.
 This neutral all carefully vzvesit.Po his opinion in a battle 
group protecting law, but because in this kingdom solid

chaos! Hence the conclusion: we must help a group of at least
partially restore the balance between chaos and order, but if 
the group suffers failure, you should find another place where

You can restore the balance.
 Neutral evil does not care neither the law nor
chaos, nor the poor will seek krestyane.On
treasure somewhere nearby, namely
Palace, which is housing the mad warrior and the Gorgon (if the 
group fails and the gorgon would attack him, he Only then will 
fight). And he even finds it a big diamond! Alas, he almost 
immediately will also be killed by a magical arrow.

 Chaotic good to join the battle on
several prichinam.Vo First Detachment of
He has few friends and he wants to
fight with them shoulder to plechu.Vo Second
the peasants must be saved, but his
do not care whether the gorgon and the soldier killed, 
captured, or even just run away.  Chaotic Neutral try to 
dislodge Gorgon from kolei.On run on it and will

scream all gorlo.A suddenly work? Suddenly gorgon scared and 
run away? "He discover that his plan fails, when the breath 
will kill the Gorgon him.  Chaotic evil and hide from the 
Gorgon, and from farmers and from their gruppy.Dlya this

There are several prichin.Esli group weakens, then he can take 
it under kontrol.Esli win gorgon and a warrior, he will join 
nim.Esli all be killed, he will take whatever he wants and 
calmly uydet.Esli he was asked what he was doing hiding, he 
replied: "do important work! defended rear!".  Well, that's 
finished (more or less) conversation about the characters 
geroev.A because it's just a small part of the basic rules: who 
are interested in this game can call the 49-62-02.Sprosit
