Oh! Yes, Jon! Great call. Bad-ass-ness is better than elfiness or clericness.
So try this:
We're sitting down to play. I want to play a badass.
1. I want you all, and the game's rules, to help make sure that my desire to play a badass gets fulfilled. I do not want anybody to ask me, via my character, whether being a badass is worth it, or force me to choose between doing the right thing and being a badass, or to make me earn or win my character's badassery, or to intimate that my character might not be a badass after all.
2. I want the opposite. I WANT somebody to ask me, via my character, whether being a badass is worth it, or else I want to have to fight for and win - or quite possibly lose - my character's badassery.
How about now? Legit, common, incompatible approaches to playing a badass?
