[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 1752034, member: 552"] I might be taking this comment the wrong way, as you did say "instead of what the person actually wishes to play." But I've gotten flak at tables for asking the DM and players, "so what all do you guys have already?" in an attempt to make sure I'm not playing the Nth character of stereotype x. I'm a "spot filler" sort of player, mostly because I feel both competent and compelled to play just about anything (in the past two years I've played every core class at least once as a PC). I "want" to play something that other people are going to appreciate me playing. I don't really want to play every race necessarily (damn those hippy elves!), but as far as classes, I'll go with anything. That said, my current group could use a generalist wizard with fairly broad knowledge skills. They seem to always want to have access to both, but nobody in the group really feels comfortable with playing someone as "frail" as a wizard. Probably because they are only 4th level. Wait till 8th and if history repeats itself suddenly everyone will be wanting to play a spellcaster. [/QUOTE]
