[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8192500, member: 7026594"] Fun thread. I had compiled/gone through a bunch of my old PCs during the Memorable Characters thread from last summer, so I have a bunch of this data in a Word doc. Out of the 25 D&D characters I can think of whom I played for long periods, half of them have been human. The below numbers are only for D&D, of course, and only characters from reasonably long-running games. We played a bunch more short-lived ones in 2nd ed with a particular DM who was a fountain of creativity but often had games crash/became bored of them after a pretty brief run. Not counting conventions or one-shots either, of course, where I tried out lots of other stuff. I was a huge multi-classing guy for a long time and as a consequence, prior to 3rd ed I mostly played Elves & Half-Elves. I still occasionally do, but mix in more stuff now. Humans being actually good in 3rd ed and 4th was great, and 4th ed giving Fighters so many cool options and abilities encouraged me to finally player some single-classed Fighters. [B]Races/Lineages[/B] 13 Humans 5 Elves 3 Half Elves 1 Trollborn (setting-specific Half Orc variant) 1 Dwarf 1 Spellscale 1 Goliath Revenant (reskinned as a big human animated as a zombie) [B]Classes[/B] 3 Fighters (OD&D, 4E, 4E) 3 Cleric/Fighters (3.0/3.5, 3.5, 3.5) 2 Rangers (3.5) 1 Cleric (War) (5E) 1 Fighter/Magic-User (OD&D) 1 Fighter/Specialty Priest (war)/Wizard (2E) 1 Elementalist Specialty Wizard (Earth) (2E) 1 Sorcerer/Fighter/Knight of the Great Kingdom/Paladin (3.0) 1 Wizard/Paladin/Eldritch Knight/True Elf (3.0/3.5) 1 Rogue/Hexblade/Scout/Fighter (3.5) 1 Skald (4E) 1 Paladin (4E) 1 Artificer (4E) 1 Blackguard (4E) 1 Rogue (4E) 1 Shadowcaster (3.5) 1 Swordsage (3.5) 1 Warblade/Rogue (3.5) 1 Wizard (Diviner) (5E) 1 Half Elf (OSE Advanced) [/QUOTE]
