The Protagonist is your main character, i.e.. the character your create at

The word protagonist has the connotation of describing the main character
without indicating whether he is good or evil. This explains why they chose to
use this word rather than "hero", since you could be running an evil character.

Since is the second time I've seen this come up, Stephen, I have to ask: is
English your native tongue, are you still in school and if so what grade?
I'm curious because the word "protagonist" is something which should come up
about midway through one's (English) education but maybe you just haven't
gotten to it yet 'cause yer still a little tadger.
> I thought it ment an opponent, if so whats the point in this spell?
The opponent would be the "antagonist". But you're in the ballpark!

A word "should have come up"... Do you have vocabulary lessons or something
in America? Or do you study a certain text which has it in? Otherwise, I
don't see how you can say it "should" have come up.

Uh, actually, we do have vocabulary lessons. Also, whenever they start
giving you books to read and such, they also teach you what
protagonists/antagonists are. That's also when they teach things like
first-person and third-person narrations.
Protagonist is a word that is basically required to be taught in English
class, in Junior High at the least.

Vital I don't think - People could just as easily say 'hero' or 'main
character'...

But with all this AD&D lingo around, it might just as well be another game
term... to those of us who are coooooompletely uneducated, as we must be to
now know the word 'protagonist'.

Weird, I went through to A level English Lit and I never remember the
idea of a protagonist being mentioned. Of course, the way I see a
protagonist is as a central character, with all others filling pretty
much peripheral roles in comparison, and the books we were reading
never really concentrated on one character to that extent. That said,
I did know what the word meant in life before BG (when was that? A
looong time ago). However, moving on to antagonists, we never really
looked at them specifically (in good British tradition, we called them
the baddies ;-)), but I would think that the two words, with their
links to antagonise/protagonise (or maybe not), may well at least ring
a few bells. But there's no accounting for the words we do/don't
learn, and it's no slight on any system if a certain word isn't
stressed to the nth degree in classes.

No, the protagonist is the same character no matter who is leading the
party.

I don't, but on first sight, having not heard (or remembered hearing) I just

I think that's possibly quite true.

I didn't... but maybe that's because my English teacher couldn't spell, let
alone teach...
