[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9383642, member: 7635"] I think it really depends on what is the catalyst for your concept. Most people start with an idea that tends to lead on a class first (a dark mage, a bold warrior) that gives them a small selection of class choices. Sometimes people start with a species (a gruff dwarf, or a cunning tiefling) and let class develop from that. A few start with a background (a lucky urchin, a haughty noble) and move from there, but I find that rare. The reason why class still is the biggest of the three is class determines so much of your play style. A dwarf is going to give you some earthy bonuses and resilience, the noble, some skills and proficiencies, but class determines if you're in melee with swords, in the back slinging spells, a healer or an ambusher. Put another way, two dwarves or two nobles in a party doesn't feel like overlap, but two sorcerers can feel they are filling the same niche. [/QUOTE]
