I usually wait to hear what everyone else intends to play before I settle on any one concept though. After that the fun begins; I enjoy optimizing my characters so they'll be very good at what they do. I research various prestige classes and feats, in my books and online, scribble down a few character builds, weigh the pros and cons of different options, think about it some more, talk to my GM about my various ideas and then make my final decision. By the time my character sheet is ready, probably a week or more has gone by. It may sound excessive, but I rarely get to play (I DM more often then not) so each opportunity to create a character is too precious to waste with a poorly though out PC. Oftentimes I'll end up typing a multi-page character history for the GM and even sketch out the character, ink it and colour it in photoshop once the game begins.Is this excesive? Am I nuts? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
