[QUOTE="Balsamic Dragon, post: 267155, member: 2433"] My ideal party only has four members: One character with an unusual race - ex: fire genasi One character with an unusual class combination - ex: bard/druid One character with an unusual personality quirk, code of ethics or regional background - ex: Rashamani witch And one character with a major plot-hook in his/her background - ex: lost heir to a throne. The idea is not just to come up with a combination that will kick ass (there are lots of those), but to make sure that each player has his own schtick. From a gamemaster's point of view, this is ideal becaues when you come up with a plot idea, it is easy to give it a twist based on your unusual PCs. And when you want to have a subplot, you can tie it to something cool about that PC and give them the opportunity to roleplay that distinction. Balsamic Dragon [/QUOTE]
