[QUOTE="cignus_pfaccari, post: 5713144, member: 14557"] Depends. It depends a lot on what I think is new and shiney, or if there's a particular concept I want to try out. My minotaur battle cleric was meant to be a quasi-striker paired with a defender to serve as the core of the party, since the other party members tended to be, ahem, flakey. I took minotaur (the MM version) since I could use a oversized weapon, which helped jack up his damage reasonably. He actually wound up being the only character to stay in the campaign from 1 - 26, though he was rebuilt as a warpriest at 21. For our Eberron game, I started with a bugbear rogue, mostly for the oversized weapon cheese. About 10th level, when it became obvious that wasn't intended to be used as a PC race, I switched to an elf avenger. Then, at 21st, because I saw how many monsters had unavoidable aoe damage around them, I switched to a storm sorcerer. For our ongoing Dark Sun game, I initially started as an eladrin psion. However, the bard's healing seemed subpar, and I didn't really grok the psion, so I switched over to a genasi warlord. For a future game post-Dark Sun (or "dammit we want to play divine characters), one of the players wants us to try doing a Radiant Mafia type group. Right now I'd actually like to try out Blackguard, I think I can get it to work pretty well. Brad [/QUOTE]
