We used to run Rise of the Runelords for Pathfinder a lot. People would drop or we'd not play for 2 months or so and we'd restart. The group played very meta and demanded video gamey roles in Tank, Healer and DPS. I always ended up making some Paladin or Cleric I didn't care about that had to be some form of Lawful Good everytime for spell selection and Cure bonuses. I never wrote a backstory for these characters and I didn't care when I had to throw them away after 4 sessions. Once, I made a character named Nayu Kiln. A life Oracle. The group was a little uncomfortable with it. I tried to avoid combat and always tried to give everyone a chance. The group didn't like parts of this because it slowed down the progress or stood in the way of the milestone level-up their about to recieve. I got my retribution a little later when in a random encounter Nayu was maimed by an acid attack. Charisma was my main casting stat and determined how much spells I could learn and all that. By getting her face maimed and the loss of an eye I was now horrible at doing the only thing they wanted from me, healing and buffing. The DM gave a treasure to the party the next session. An old golden eye that would lower my "percieved charisma by NPC's" by another 2, but would restore my CHA for casting purposes.
