All Things Solo

I'm not gonna say don't cheat, it's up to you. It's YOUR game, YOUR rules. BUT... Cheating only steals from your fun in the long run. If you still wanna do it: Although, all game rules give you a foundation to set your experience upon to keep things balanced, at least bend or break these rules in Solo Play with a touch on the Law side of things.

# Godlike PC

* If your dream is to play a **godlike** character and cheese combat encounters, at least give it a background story and fit your encounters according to the story. You can even turn it into a quest by angering some gods or armies, and as a punishment, they take your powers or imprison you. Then you can play a level 1 PC with the knowledge and ambition of a level 20 PC with a plan to revenge!

# Immortal PC

* If you're too attached to your character, you can **Dark Souls** your game even WITHOUT the undead-ness. Call your character "Ashen One" who can't die, but every time they die, they have to respawn in a checkpoint that you determined in Prep Phase. Or not. Play a character who is just too angry to die, if you wish! Just like the Doom Guy. But think about the WHYs and HOWs of it to keep your game believable.

# All-Knowing PC

* If you want your character to **know everything**, and I mean EVERYTHING, including meta-game and/or Real World knowledge, give it a reason. Maybe the PC was just a normal person who is sucked into a magical world. Maybe some Aboleth telepathically feeding them info for its own sinister reasons. Maybe your PC's mind unwillingly tapped / connected into some data source...

If you want to base your Solo Sessions on chaotic rulebreaker PCs, no one can stop you. Whatever kind of cheat you want, give it a reason and purpose BUT also think about its consequences in your world to have the sense of a real game.

# Vent in Solo Play. But don't bring your cheats into Group Games.
