That was 2nd edition!  It would be worse now, since I'd also have to figure out which feats I wanted, how to allocate my skill points, and which domains I wanted to take.  The total time was at least an hour and a half.I like character creation to be fast when it's necessitated, but I find it extremely difficult to slap together a high level spellcaster in 3rd edition in a short amount of time. It just can't be done.If you're spending an hour developing 4-6 sessions worth of games you're either running a very low-level game, or you're primarily using monsters right out of the book for enemies. Because you certainly can't stat out several high level BBEGs in that amount of time.</blockquote>
