[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6939286"] I usually end up splitting things up pretty 50/50. I've only played a seductress once, she was born poor and hated the rich so she seduced wealthy men and then killed them, then claimed to be their late wife to take all their wealth and lands. I played a female elf monk who was abandoned as a child and thus hated other elves. She had no real sexual bent towards men or women and sex didn't come up in that campaign much so it was never an issue. I am currently playing a female weretiger rogue who left her people to pursue wealth and power (which her tribe didn't value). Sex hasn't come up in this game because we've got some youngins, so I mostly play her up as a female Sher Khan. I've made a couple stereotypical men before but I find stereotypes pretty boring so I try to avoid them. I usually write fairly long character backstories and the character's sex is developed out of that. Sometimes men fit an idea more than women, sometimes the other way around. Sometimes tropey characters work in a beer & pretzels game, they usually don't at a more serious table. IMO: if your intention is to play a well-rounded character, the sex really doesn't matter.
