That's IMHO the fun in roleplaying in the first place -- doing things you
never would have a chance to do in real life. Would you ever get an
opportunity to sneak into a building, get discovered by a guard, splatter
his brains all over a wall, and then get away with it? The first two aren't
hard, the other two are pretty much impossible for most of us, I would imagine.
Or for instance crawl into a dark dungeon infested with creatures that'd
like to kill me. I'd be scared out of my mind, I can tell you that, but the
neat thing is my character isn't.
