What is more, they are wrong without realizing the other choices available, other goals involved and so on.  No disclaimer…X is best, Y sucks.Here on the community section I disagree with a lot of opinions but they’re side to side with other opinions and context. The collective wins most of the time from my perspective.  Sadly I know newbies want quick answers for tonight’s game…but man what a minefield of subpar advice out there…Take some time and read conflicting viewpoints.  Play and see what you like!  And be armed knowing your wants and needs should guide character creation.Sometimes you will find you know more than a pundit/blogger…Robust discussion wins and teaches.  Following a blowhard usually helps make a character they would make for the games they play in with choices they find interesting.  Take it for what it’s worth.</blockquote>
