[QUOTE="Wulffolk, post: 7247483, member: 6871450"] For me it boils down to either an inspiration or a challenge. I either begin with an inspired concept in mind (and use point buy), find my inspiration based upon discussions at a Session Zero (point buy or rolling), or take up the challenge of making the most of the opportunity I have been given (rolling for stats). I prefer to create a character organically. I start with Race and Gender, then a vague background idea. This usually comes from a Session Zero discussion with the rest of the group. I then roll stats to see what the character's aptitudes might be. I refine the Background. Then I choose a Class and Skills (and possibly Feat). Afterwards I flesh out some detail and write in some major life events, hopefully finding ways to tie in to other characters to establish a pre-existing relationship. I hate the cliche of a half-dozen completely random "adventurers" meeting in a tavern and just deciding that it is a good idea to go dungeon-crawling together. [/QUOTE]
