[QUOTE="Altamont Ravenard, post: 6350391, member: 14700"] Back in the day, most of my characters were thought up in regards to who he was, where he came from, what did he like and dislike, why was he an adventurer. That was in the days when the DMs have time to make homebrews that could adapt to everyone's (less than optimized) characters. Nowadays, since we pretty much play adventure paths exclusively, we're more concerned with making characters that can survive and advance the plot. Also, since character backstories in Adventure Paths are less important (or even sometimes irrelevant), we tend not to put too much time thinking them up. I'm trying to get to DM a homebrew again so that we can get back to thinking up "cool" characters instead of going through hundreds of pages of rules to make capable characters. My guidelines for character creation will be focused on story, and then I'll be playing really really loose with the rules. Sure, what everyone's character can do will be important, but I'll try to make it so every player can play exactly the type of character he wants to play, in terms of story and powers. AR [/QUOTE]
