D&D 5E So What Should I Play?

I think my next PC would be a half-elf cleric of trickery. It just sounds like the bastard love child of fun and practical.

Take your least favorite race
Add in your least favourite class
Mix with a little of your least favourite personality backgrounds and simmer
Add a splash of what you think are some of the worst spells or weapons
Sprinkle your usual dump stat with ASI's

You might be pleasantly surprised at the nice flavour.​

Instead of attempting to fill a vacancy in one of the four major roles. Intentionally leave one of those roles open. Having character's with flaws is interesting, but so is having a party with a weakness. It forces everybody to try new approaches and figure out how to compensate.

Back in days of old a favorite summer run was wizard, sorcerer, thief and ckeric/thief multiclass.

Cleric kept out of heavy armor for speed and stealth so the whole party used very much commando, speed, sneak, run etc instead of standing toe-to-toe. When "head into maze of underground corridor" opportunities arose we usually passed unless we saw it as not a case where we would get pinned in.

It was a very fun and different campaign.

However, its not as easy to do with some other roles.
