[All RPGs] If you had to make a new character, what would it be?

[dantemarx]

Ah, warforged. Excellent call, I think I forgot about them.

Although, I might instead say that the Warforged are not neutral, but rather all warforged of any one particular designation are the same gender. They are created by mortals, and it seems reasonable that these mortals would be influenced by their culture. Specifically, they would choose to design warriors that fit the accepted gender role -  so for soldiers, they design 'male' warforged. Perhaps for warforged nurses, they make them female. Just an idea that popped into my head.

As for the wilden, I was of the opinion that they were newly synthesized creatures (from the initial release from wizard "With the dew of creation on their brow..."). If they don't reproduce, there is no reason to give them gender. Alternately, if they are plant people, perhaps they are like most plants - hermaphrodites. Anyhow, not really too familiar with them, so I guess I can't really give any strong opinion.

For my 4e game I would roll another fighter 

I love being a defender

If I had to roll up a new 3.5e character...
It would be a human who took the 10 rank Chameleon prestige class at level 6. it allows you to emulate many classes using focuses.
Since level 1 Able Learner feat is required for the class...I could take any class and do it, since with Able Learner all skills are in class.

I wanna play a Thri-Kreen. I have this thing for races with more than 2 sets of limbs. I want wizards to bring back the raptoran for 4th ed. Still my favorite 3.5 race. If they don't soon I'm just gonna come up with some home brew for them.

I wanna play a Thri-Kreen.

Now there's a race I haven't heard of in a long while.  A friend of mine's old character was one..   Well, kinda.  I forget the specifics, but he was either under a spell that allowed him to change into one or was one and under a spell to take a human form (It's been about 14-16 years or so and he was always playing really complicated characters so I can't really recall).  But then again most of us had either a strange character combination or a race not normally associated with the setting (the DM really liked to mess with that sort of thing and give every player a chance to be a "unique" character).

The Thri-Keen remind me of the 3.5e Diopsid from Dragon 367/Dragon Compendium

They could glide from any height, glow like a firefly, and use their arms to wield oversize weapons and can wield 2 two-handed weapons at once. They have short lives though, the longest being 28 years. The minimum age being 4 years old.

If this were a perfect world, one of my friends would start a Changeling: The Lost campaign, so

I could play in it, rather than run it. I'd roll up a Fairest Seeming, with the Draconic Kith.

The penalty for a bad show was always visited upon the director. It didn't matter if the

script was poorly written, if the notes were off, if the performances flopped, or if the cues

were missed. The Patron would call the director into her chambers, and give her "review". The

screams would last for days. Once they guttered out, she would return, and call upon someone

else to direct the next performance. They would not be given a choice. Thus, successful

directors learned to motivate their casts and crews, whether it was with the carrot, or the

stick.

After a string of 3 or 4 particularly bad performances, Justin Frame was chosen to direct. He'd

been unlucky enough to be brought in fresh to Arcadia, but he'd been witness to the last

director's failure... and subsequent punishment. Never had a director been so driven, so

consumed with succeeding. It was this drive that carried him through, that had him inspire his

cast to greater heights, to put on a spectacular show... but it was also this drive that made

him capable of great force and cruelty, in order to press his crew to the limits.. The Patron

loved his pieces, his performances, and he survived. His shows elevated the performances to a

new level. But his cast and crew started to shrink from him when he strove by. His very

presence motivated them to act, whether out of fear or inspiration. And soon Frame noticed the

injuries, the neuroses, the shell-shocked stares of his fellow performers. Yet he could not

stop pushing - each performance must be greater, better than the last. It no longer mattered

that his life was on the line, it was about the art, and the higher calling. And soon it wasn't

even about that - it was simply a compulsion, a burning need to create masterpiece after

masterpiece.

In the end, it was not his Patron's displeasure that he so feared that undid him, but his

fellow prisoners' treachery. They took him one night, before his latest performance was

unveiled, and after taking out their frustration and rage upon him, left him in the Hedge. He

wandered then, his body bruised and bleeding, until he found himself, not back in the halls of

his Patron's theatre, but returned to the world he no longer understood.

It did not take him long to resume what he was doing - finding an old theatre, with a dying

patronage in a bad neighbourhood. He quickly revitalized them, with the same methods he always

did, but the shows weren't the same. They did not have the magic of the performances he had

created for the Patron, the magic... and yet, on rare occaisions, when a six-part harmony was

perfect, when an actor had tears or laughter flowing from the audience, or when a special

effect caused a guttural reaction from the crowd, he felt that same magic, and so, he

continued... glad of no longer fearing for his life, but still, missing what he believed was

his true calling....

Or, if a DM allows, a Tibbet with Able Learner houseruled in. Changing into a housecat would be awesome.


Oh...my...yay! Someone made a Tibbit 4e custom race

...I want this to become official!

Justin Frame was chosen to direct. [/i]

Nice.

Yeah, you don't see too many good sympathizer concepts.

One more thing I forgot to mention, he now goes by the name of Alan Smithee

[Beta Ray Bill Cosby]

I don't think I've ever actually played a Zenith caste solar, so I'd probably pitch one. I think I would roughly base it on Marvel's King Pin.

Then you run the risk of your Storyteller making your arch nemesis a Lunar with a Spider Totem and points in Athletics and Dodge.
