[QUOTE="Mad Hamish, post: 5337909, member: 25321"] Generally I try and pick a character late in the party development so that we have all the roles filled reasonably well. I'll commonly figure out characters for each role before making a decision and I reasonably commonly have a couple of different strikers for ranged or melee sitting around as options. As yet the only long term character I've played in 4th ed is an elven archer ranger/Battlefield Archer/Demigod (the party has just hit level 27) and we've got another couple of campaigns that will start when that one finishes. I went archer ranger because a) I like bows, b) the party was short on ranged options, I largely went elf because I like maneuverability The characters I've got planned for the next campaigns are goliath polearm fighter Half Elf Ardent for a dark sun campaign commonly I pick a race which is at least reasonably matched to the class, I'm likely to pick one with a stat mod for the main attack stat (or a human putting it there) but enough feat support or good racial abilities that fit the concept can make another one attractive. Alternatively sometimes I just have a mental image of a character I want to play. [/QUOTE]
