[QUOTE="WayOfTheFourElements, post: 7908022, member: 6904757"] I like players to create character that are inexperienced. They are locals from a small town or new to the region the game will primarily take place in. They know little about the world, and the game will provide them with their first glimpse of a larger universe. Thus, the players will experience the setting through the eyes of their characters. Writing down "Fighter 1; STR 12. INT 13, WIS 8, CON 15, DEX 9, CHA 11; Armor: Plate + shield; Sword; Background: cobbler; Aspiration: not to be a cobbler," is enough to get started in my game. Character creation takes a matter of minutes, and we fill in the rest of the details during play. Generally, I have only 3 standard classes: fighter, magic-user, and cleric. Any other type of character is a negotiation between the DM and the player. Non-humans are generally, monsters, mutants, travelers from another world, etc. We've had all sorts of unusual characters including an animated suit of armor, a house, a time traveler, a blink dog, and a fire elemental, though usually, I allow only one crazy non-standard character in a group at a time.
