[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 2126007, member: 960"] Not so funny with the Vow of Poverty and all of its additional abilities and bonus feats. :) I play one in FCWesel's game; during the first combat I kept forgetting about all he can do, since he has (I think) 31 class abilities, vow abilities, feats, and bonus feats as a 10th level monk. Even with all those abilities, there are still some things he is very ineffective at (ranged attacks, bypassing hardness, etc.). Still, the Vow of Poverty is so overpowering I put his best stat in CHA, just to tone him down a bit. Makes all of his monk-y acestic goodness more believable, at least to me--he is a paragon of selflessness. The most fun part is when the halfling cook tries to get him to eat, whic he doesn't have to do. But, that game is on hold and now I'm playing a dwarven bard. And in other games I've also got an elf barbarian, a half-orc paladin, and had (briefly) a gnome fighter who is now a half-elf fighter (started as a dwarf, but two Reincarnations later....). The weird stuff is out there. It's just not as common. The characters I play the most frequently are the (formerly dwarven) half-elf fighter, human rogue, human wizard, gnome cleric, pixie warmage, another human rogue, half-orc paladin, halfling cleric, the elf barbarian (pretty much in that order). Dead characters and PCs from dead games included an elven cleric, gnome rogue, halflling rogue, human druid, and human wizard. Mostly "normal"--but I can only play the "normal" stuff so often before I want to play something a little "different" (hence things like the pixie warmage or the half-orc paladin). [/QUOTE]
