It's not a major advantage if his hover ceiling is, like, the height a human could jump.

Just remember rule 35 .

You scared me for a moment. I thought you were talking about the "rules for the internet" Rule 35 .

They can play one, but personally the character would get pretty boring to me. Not much opportunity for fun with a character that talks in beebs, doesn't really fight, and has no real arms.

That's just me though, if you can find a way to have fun with it, more power to you.

I don't know... the guy from Darths & Droids seem to have a lot of fun playing his meglomaniac, capital-ship craving R2-D2.

I love Darths & Droids ! It's perfect for that niche of people who love both Star Wars and tabletop RPG's. That, and they constantly give good (and sarcastic) advice for running your own RPG's. (Incidentally, that character comes to mind every time I think of an astromech PC now.)

Now there's a topic that deserves its own thread.

Amen!

I love that comic. All of the "RPers" as characters, too.
