[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8684278, member: 19675"] My main drivers in my PC design choices away from most single class builds are: a long time spent in the hobby; a preference for FRPG PCs with some kind of fantastic/magical capabilities independent from items or the buffs of others; the structure of D&D classes. I might have a character idea I can articulate, but when I go looking, there’s not really a single class that encompasses the features I’m emphasizing.* For example, one of the last 3.5Ed PCs I played was built on the concept of “Arcane Paladin”. IOW, he was supposed to be a martial arcanist with “aura” abilities and some kind of “Smite” like ability. That’s not a set of abilities you’re going to find in a single class. OTOH, one of the last 3.5Ed PCs I designed was a single class fighter. His “fantastic” elements all stemmed from his race (Hengeyokai), the multiheaded & cryo templates, and a bunch of Fey heritage feats. * at least, not in an official product. Sometimes, I can find them in 3rd party products, but that’s no sure thing, either. [/QUOTE]
