Hmmm....good question...nope, only in a *really* over-the-top fantasy LARP
fashion - the AP-type, torturing people to death (lots of teeny fire spells),
leaving healing salves spiked with broken glass around etc...

I take your point - I haven't played the rapist type, 'cos I don't think it's
'fun' - I'd happily play a sociopath - be more of a challenge, but the nasty
sex/paedophilia/rape/mutilation bit, makes me far to uneasy to enjoy
trying the RP it, you'll be *delighted* to know....

I know - fidgeting little bastards - they're *impossible* to get a decent
lock on..... ;-)
