Another friend just rolls 50/50 and takes the outcome. Only one person in our groups thinks gender bending is weird. But I've heard plenty of stories about players who can't deal with it. It's your character, play whatever gender you want.Priddayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988483528642234280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624244242117701070.post-35640802489964921712013-07-25T08:43:44.785-04:002013-07-25T08:43:44.785-04:00Thank you for the thread.

I always do it and I would not be comfortable playing if the GM didn't allow it/if another player had a real problem with this and I was forced to play a female character - unless the GM has a really good story-related reason.
