[QUOTE="skymage, post: 474152, member: 7347"] to things are required for me to make the perfect pc 1. i have to know the pc. when somthing happens i know exactly how he will react. 2. cool powers. wether it be mastery of the long sword or spells that can destroy an entire country if he can't do something cool then he's not worth playing. some other important things are background and story. somthing to explain his personality, and powers. why is he a wizard as opposed to a sorcerer. why is he a fighter instead of a barbarian. why would he risk his life to save a drow, and kill a human in the process. all the background does is explain why he does what he does. my favorite charactor has to be a human 8/10/2 sorcerer shifter contemplative that i created for an epic game. his spell dc's where low he wasn't the best fighter ever but i could roleplay him perfectly, he had cool powers, and i was able to explain it all in his background. he was the son of an enkili like god of shapeshifting. he had a great sense of right and wrong but almost no sense of law. his motivation for adventureing was to find more shapes. the stranger and more different from his origonal form the better. his favorites are a gargantuan sized giant, a diminutive sized fey like humanoid, and just about anything that's not humanoid. he seeks out other shapechangers or shapes he doesn't know yet and prefers peaceful contact but as no problem defending himself if attacked by whatever form he is trying to learn. he never understood prejudice and why certain races hated each other. he has a gift (high cha) when it comes to fiting in as well as an uncanny ability to asimilate languages (speaking wild shape we allow this feat to speak with anything not just animals and elementals). well i think that i've said enough about him i'll stop here. so good pc's need personality then powers and finally a background.
