[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8523904, member: 6790260"] Most games I'm in tend to be relatively normal, though I consider dragonborn "relatively normal" so people might disagree with that. I've seen a lot of humans, elves, and half-elves, a few dwarves, a smattering of other races. It's really only in high-level PF that I've ever seen "weird" race choices, and...well. That's weird to begin with. But I guess the one epic gestalt multi-PrC-allowed 3.PF mashup (PF rules favored when they conflict, except for wild shape) game I was in might qualify. My character was, [I]technically[/I], a half-elf adopted by his dragon stepmother, who slowly transformed (due to Geomancer) into being effectively part-dragon himself. He was the second most "normal" character in the game, after the omniscificer who was (IIRC) a purely bog-standard normal human, other than being able to create hundreds of thousands of GP worth of magic items in a few [I]turns[/I]. We also had a preternaturally-stealthy, can-stab-basically-anything-in-its-dangly-bits rogue/paladin-bard blend, who was a good-aligned undead fetchling (technically a "deathless") blessed by Sarenrae, and a legit [I]actual[/I] copper dragon exploiting the hell out of Incantatrix. My character, an Int-based Druid/Wizard Dragon Space Pope,* was legit actually [I]almost[/I] normal compared to the others. *Specifically, the build was Menhir Savant Druid 10/Planar Shepherd (Syrania) 10/High Proselytizer 5 Exploiter Wizard 5/Geomancer 10/Archmage 5/Cosmic Descryer 5 Using the "Academic Priest" feat from Legend of the Twins, and both the epic PrCs being the Librim Eternia versions.
