I have two sets of critters based on: 1/ how the character appeals to me2/ how it completes the group of PCsI like active characters, not really passive ones. Which makes me like focussed character classes and types, like fighters and wizards, rather than say, bards and rogues.If I select a monstrous character, this will have to be a monstrous race that is good at something in the game, not just flavorful, even though this is a requirement. And this monstrous type good-at-something character will complete the group, filling the slot we'd think is lacking for the PCs party to survive.That's how I selected my present character. Most of the characters in the PCs group aren't particularly focussed but for a Totem Warrior specialized in ranged combat, very strong skill monkeys/rogue types (assassin and unfettered) and descent spellcasters (mage blade and winter witch). To complete the group, I could choose to be an excellent spellcaster (magister or wizard for the most adaptability) or an excellent power attack/hit points tank (to help the unfettered and rogue in melee combat). I created at first a tiefling magister, and changed at the last minute for the power-attacking tank in the form of the horned devil. That was fitting my thirst for an active tactical role in the game and a more free-style role-playing. The RP elements were plugged-in to that concept and for the moment this is working out perfectly.</blockquote>
