By this time I was so uninspired by 2nd edition that I just couldn't select what kind of character I would play. I flipped back and forth through the races and classes in the Player's Handbook and nothing was interesting to me anymore. So, I asked another player to pass me a miniature and I would just build a character around it. As a joke, he passed me a miniature of a scantily-clad female holding a quarterstaff. I took it and meditated on it for several minutes. Why does she have that staff? Why does she dress that way? And from that I created a very cool role-playing character: a beautiful charismatic young woman who was forced to learn magic from her mom, but she really wanted to be like her paladin dad. She didn't have the wisdom (by far) to be one, but she still admired her dad's way of doing things. So, she casts Armor then Shield then beats on the baddies with her quarterstaff. Her "c'mon guys, let's leap into the fray!" personality has been a composite of Dizzy from Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles, Yochi the perky cheerful drow elf from the Dragon magazine comic strip Yamara, Britanny and Quinn from MTV's Daria, and Jesse from Toy Story 2. This has been one of my most successful role-playing characters to date and I'm very proud of this character. She really does have a personality that is very different than mine. When last played, she was a Fighter 5/Sorcerer 6/Spell[staff] 4 in Living City.Another cool idea that I have in my character backburner is a gnomish barbarian/druid who rides his animal companion, has all of the mounted combat feats, and uses a lance when charging. What's nice about this is that a Small character on a Medium mount can go through almost all of the places where adventurers go.</blockquote>
