Which of these Vanilla Flavor PCs have you played ?

my current PC is an Elf Barbarian, and we have a Halfling Druid in the party as well.

In 2e I played about every possible combination of Multi-classed Half elf there was. I even had a company of Half Elves, one for every occasion.

Half Elves are stereotypes of the 2nd Edition only...

I fail to understand how those classes/races are "uncreative." A character is uncreative by his personality, temperament, background, etc.

Many of those posted there are not "uncreative," merely effective. Elves make good rangers. Halflings make good rogues. Dwarves make great fighters, and they have a charisma penalty. Half-Orcs favored class IS barbarian; is it any surprise that many of them are barbarians?

A player in my group ALWAYS tries to make 'original' characters, like drow monk/assassins, half dragon paladin/fighters, lantern archon clerics, tiefling rogue/wizards/Shadow Adepts, etc. His characters are always dull and unoriginal, because they have no personality.

I'll stick to my vanilla characters, thank you very much, and just add lots of hot fudge and caramel.

My friend plays a walking med kit called Derrick the Generic Cleric, does that count for this thread?

I'm currently playing a Dwarven fighter undergoing a religous transformation into a cleric. I had entertained thoughts of becomeing a Dwarven Defender PrC but a nasty group of demonic jebli put an end to that If you would like to play in a WoG setting go to Gamers seeking Gamers here on these boards to find not 1 BUT 2 I said two PbeM campaigns. /ends shameless plugs/

dwarven fighter religous transformation = "yes, i do like fighting, and i do also like clangedin silverbeard. i use an axe. hey look, i'm a cleric, woo hoo, where's the ale?"

I ran a one-shot adventure once. A friend of mine came in a few minutes after we had started and wanted to join, so he "rolled up" a fighter by flipping to the npc section of the dmg and copying down the stats. His goal was to be the most generic and uninspired character in the history of the game. Too bad he got ate by a troll.

LOL!

Now they are calling the core classes Vanilla Flavored.

Heh. I remember an Ice-Cream Parlour that boasted of it's 500 flavors of ice cream.

I believe there are far more classes and prestige classes, now, in 3E, than that, not including any class combinations!
