Every time I see a thread like this or about people selling the pregens stuf, eating the pregen, or anything else like that, I feel the urge to start a PETA-esque type organization for the fair treatment and respect of pregenerated characters.
"I am a Pregenerated Character. Hath not a Pregen perception? Hath not a Pregen ability scores, hp, size, saves, alignment, deities; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases,
heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter
and summer, as a PC is? If you drop us to -1hp, do we not bleed? If
you ask us, do we not roll knowledge checks? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you engage us, do we not roll initiative? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that."
