How you play your character is essential. from sound's blog

I've always felt that the primary goal of role playing was to become your character. This can be a difficult goal especially if you have chosen a character that is the antithesis of your own personality. If you are playing a rude self-indulgent character, but your personality is the exact opposite it may take an attitude adjustment to pull it off.

I have a tendency to play characters who look before they leap, don't crawl out on the limb or take a drink out of the glass before knowing whats's in it. Whenever I think about changing any of that I am less than convinced I could pull it off. Still it might be a lark to try playing someone who is quick to jump into the fray. A character who is self-confident, impulsive and just a little over the top.

I don't know that I'll make a character adjustment anytime soon. That being said nothing ventured......

I started playing campaigns so I put staying alive at a high priority. Nothing wrong with that. But at North Texas playing Discos and Dragons I played a low level hobbit with adventure fever in over his head. I always charged in. I even went straight for a Giants ankles with my ax. I died, of course. But it was fun.
