Hedonist Image

You believe, with all your being, that life is a party and should be enjoyed as such.

Do you prefer the aloofness of a noble's spice salon or is a drinking contest in a local tavern more your speed? Have you visited the Feywild and been dazzled by the sheer intensity of a satyr's soiree? Have you experienced the near blinding strength of drinking with the dwarven Ale Masters of the mountains? Have you survived a devilish bacchanalia? Whatever the case, you have enjoyed some aspect of the most decadent of lifestyles.

How has the experience affected you? Were you once an uptight stick-in-the-mud that has become an irreverent party creature? Are you lashing out to escape a highly controlling environment? Do you continue the party wherever you go so that you never have to recall the event that started you down this path? Are you just looking to distract yourself from the drudges of your benign existence? Or is it simply that you enjoy a good time?
