I must be a risk-taker, I haven't played any of those - although my party is playing about half of them now...

I love to play standard, vanilla human fighters. A Bastard Sword (or Battleaxe if I am feeling adventurous), a Large Shield, Chamail (I try to avoid Plate - and if I have a high Dex, I choose Chain Shirt) and a mount.
These characters tend to live long. My bugbear monk was killed on the first session, my drow sorceress was almost killed by the party and had to flee - my human fighters always lasted forever. Go figure.

If you find a company that makes good vanilla ice cream then all of their other flavors will likely be great.
Vanilla isn't bland or boring; it is the most basic and essential flavor available! This list can be used as a template for character design just make the personalities varied.
My dwarf with a 7 Charisma is a wizard who is about to become a minion of Cthulhu! See, it's easy!
He does have a toad familiar and is only 14 hits behind the Half-Orc Barb/Fighter. Life is good.

are there other kinds of dwarven fighters? withought them, who would joyfully bathe in ale? who would fling themselves bodily at enemies with high damage reduction in a vain attempt to knock them down for easy killing by the rest of the party? who would insure that every goblin the party ever sees will meet his end that day? and most importantly without the low charisma fighter dwarf, who would loudly bellow horrendously stupid battlecries with a poorly done scottish accent while whirling a war axe over his head? long live this icon of roleplaying i say. i've never actually played a halfling rogue, but i have been involved in a party composed of nothing but dwarven fighters. the laughter involved as we all tried to out "dwarf" each other was painful. the brutal and efficient combats were nice luls in the laughter.

Wasps are worse than squirrels...
I ran a basic D&D campaign once where the number of PC deaths from giant bees out weighed the deaths by dragons, and the deaths by giant insects and arachnids out weighed the deaths by everything else combined.
I am currently playing a Gnome wizard/prestige class of my own design. I thought about going Illusionist, but I didnt want to give up the spells, or the magic items that require those spells to create. He is a tinker after all, and one feat away from having every item creation feat.
