I don't really see it as being any different than what everyone else does.Let's see, we have:1. The dwarf with the Scottish accent. I actually do hate this character and it really gets under my skin when I hear a player roleplay his dwarf like this. I feel sorry for Scottish D&D players. I assume that they always have to play Dwarves unless they put on an accent of their own. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />2. The mage with a bad attitude. Why does Drizzt get all the flak, but when a guy makes a Raistlin clone, nobody cares? Is it because it's easier to disguise it as being a Raisltin clone?3. The fat cook adventurer. Any variation of a PC fighting with pots & pans, or fighting with a pot on his head, or fighting with a large mouth bass (yes I've heard this one before) is absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure it's fun for just a silly short run game, but to do this as a serious PC in a serious long term game would really get on my nerves.4. The Bard PC that flirts with everything that moves. Again, nobody ever complains about this stereotypical PC. I'm sure way more of these PCs exist than Drizzt clones exist.5. The arcane caster that wears a robe (or even a pointy hat). Why do they have to wear a robe? Wouldn't it be easier to cast spells in a shirt and some pants? Hell, my wife's sorceress wears shorts. I was surprised to hear that when she told me. I never thought of a PC wearing shorts before.6. The Halfling that rides around on an animals back. I actually like this concept, but still, it's probably no less common than a Drizzt clone.7. The dumb Half-Orc. They are half orc. They still have another half. How come they always gotta take on the dumb half? What if the human parent was a scientific genius? 8. The completely out of place monstrous PC. If played right, this could be pretty interesting. But it's rarely ever played right. This PC is no different than a Human when they enter into a town. NPCs never seem to mind some freak of nature walking into their tavern. The militia never rounds up the abomination and burn him alive. And the adventuring party never seems to mind having this guy with them, "He's a half-fiendish Ogre that wields a gargantuan bastard sword; so what?"9. The Gnome Illusionist. If it's a Gnome, he has to be an Illusionist. This is probably as frequent as the Drizzt clone.10. Which do you see more often, a Drow Ranger with duel scimitars, or an Elven Ranger with a bow?Let's be original and rant about one of the above character concepts? I think that'll be more fun. I've never been one to jump on the bandwagon and hate on a popular fictional character because that's the cool thing to do on the internet. But now if you want to rant about people like Paris Hilton and those types; I'd love to join in. I see clones of those real-life people walking the streets every day. It's much more annoying than a Drizzt clone. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
