Message: <blockquote data-quote="igniz13" data-source="post: 5318313" data-attributes="member: 90483">This question came to as i've had two attempts at making a character I want to try out in Living 4e on these forums, but it's also one that applies to RL games and any other Living World game, hell it probably applies to any RPG where you're going to be stuck with a character but I'm interested in discussing from a D&D 4e perspective. How the hell do you settle on a char when you know you're going to be with them for a long time? For me, it's a nightmare. I have my flavours of the week/month, currently the ensnaring swordmage (shush you nay sayers!) though it's also flitting between that and women who carry bazookas (or fantasy equivolents) but are still assassins. Next time might be people who hit things with a 2h weapon or Dex using Barbs, not sure. When it comes to what I want from a character, it's pretty much the moon on a stick. I don't like relying on others in the party, so I've got to have survivability, hit-rate, damage, healing and nukage (generally I like nukage anyway), but I also like phsyical skills. I'm not keen on sitting in the back ranks and shooting lasers at people, I prefer getting mixed up. I like to be able to fight enemies on my terms not there's. But that's getting into Mary Sue characters. The old advice of making a person you like to play doesn't always work as i've still got to contend with me wanting my own securities. It's no good playing a character if aspects of that character are going to nark you. So i'm asking how other people settle on playing a character when you know you're going to be with them for a long time.</blockquote>
