[QUOTE="Zephyrus, post: 1067031, member: 8728"] I find that sometimes the best laid plans when planning on a character are sometimes for not. you ultimatly dont know how your character will evolve based on what happens so I often find it easiest to thing is to give the character a couple of simple aspirations. thinking in terms of aspirations and desires (or lack of desires/aspirations) or aversions or things they hate make the simplest and most flexiable things about the character. With this in mind is one of the reasons I like prestige classes. having a prestige class in mind gives the character (consciously or unconsciously) something to shoot for. How about an arcane trickster or a rogue/wizard or some other multi-class combo or prestige class based char. If you dont wanna do that perhaps play a different class as the one you often play but shares skills in common such as Monk or Ranger. again you could multi-class if nessisary. Deciding that 'I wanna be a Monk6/Rogue3' with 'xyz' feats or that 'I wanna be a shadowdancer' helps define the character without having to put a great deal of effort into circumstantial behaviors that may or may not apply or may get thrown out the window. simple a broad concept of a drive (twords/away) from some goal or object goes a long way for defining a character and how you play it.
