[QUOTE="KesselZero, post: 5852301, member: 6689976"] I love the idea that making your PC is a part of the game. I just ran a 4e game for four totally new players last week, so I made pregens for them, thinking they'd be super bored by rolling up characters (and also preferring to teach by doing, so I just tossed them into combat). At the end of the session they excitedly asked me if we could spend the next session making characters. Well... sure! :cool: Conversely, I had to create a level 8 PC for a 4e game I'm joining soon. The combined factors of it being a class I'd never played before (paladin, which has a lot of moving parts) and wanting to make the best PC possible led to hours upon hours of work, trying different builds then scrapping them, reading over the CharOp stuff on the WotC forums, etc. etc. It was agonizing, honestly, and eventually I just really wanted it to be over with. I hope 5e makes rolling up high-level PCs easier and faster. [/QUOTE]
