Sometimes, I reflect on what character classes I haven't played much lately, pick one of those, and make up a character. In those cases, I'm largely looking at what the character can do.Other times, I come with an idea like an accountant's son who sneaks away to become... an Adventurer *fanfare*. And then I think about what sort of adventurer he would want to be. So there I'm looking at the character's motivations and personality first.I probably favor the first over the second approach a little bit particularly when I'm not the first player to pitch his character to the GM. In those cases, I often sit back and let everyone get their ideas in and then cover where there are adventuring deficiencies.</blockquote>
