[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8641892, member: 22779"] Preach. I have to admit, I'm not a big "build" guy. I'm not. But, I do generally start from a pretty strong concept from the get go, mostly because I know that I don't get to play that often so waiting fifteen sessions of gaming to get to concept isn't really an option. So, yeah, I tend to lean into the classes that have stronger flavor right out of the gate and then wed that to whatever concept I'm working with. It's pretty rare that I'd need to multiclass or anything like that to achieve the concept, so, build isn't really a thing. But, yeah, I'm not real happy with my experiences in the past where I would have to play many sessions just to reach about 3rd level and have a "real" character that wasn't just Fytor #23 because of the grind of lower level play. The idea that 1st level characters must be fresh off the turnip truck newbies is one sacred cow that I really don't like. I have no problem with starting at 3rd level and I know the next campaign I run will start at 3rd or maybe 5th, just to skip over the endlessly repetitive early levels. I am SO DONE TO DEATH with levels 1-3. [/QUOTE]
