[quote=@The Fated Fallen] That's what I always used to say, I don't know why I've really shifted away from that mindset but there we are. I guess I found having to be a different race was more restricting, everybody expects a dwarf to be booze in one hand and axe in the other. Elves are always seen as roguish and off with the faeries and if you play anything other than those stereotypes with other less-fantasy-fluent people they tend to lose interest in your characters. [/quote] [quote=@Fetzen] [@The Fated Fallen] That indeed is a problem I'm often struggling with at character creation. However I often try to counteract this by going on and making the character [i]I[/i] would like to play, even if it contradicts common expectations. However... I'm probably not a good example for what to do best. I like playing beings who are.... semi-friendly undead, gargoyles, barbarians, rogues who give a damn about speed and agility (Assassin's Creed cliché *waves*) and rather work with elaborate traps and devices. Or in other words: It could have been [i]far worse[/i] than with An-Hasst's sometimes a little loose mouth. [/quote] [quote=@Banana] [@Mega Birb] Honestly be what ya want. Humans are uncreative. Dwarves are alcoholic midgets. Elves are pointy-eared fucks. Dragonborns are abominations. Tieflings are dirty demon halflings. Halflings are the bastard children of humans and dwarves. Half-Elves are pointy-eared uncreative fucks. Orcs are savages. Skeletons are spooky. Yadda Yadda. Did I offend everything? I hope I got the majority of it if I didn't. Be what you want, when you want, how you want. If you wanna be that Half-Orc rogue, do it? Tiefling Paladin? Why not? Halfling Bard? Sure! Gnome Barbarian? Hell yeah! Harpy Warrior? Do it! [/quote] Guys, you're breaking the LAW! Don't forget [@POOHEAD189]'s new decree: [quote=@POOHEAD189] [u]A new guideline for everyone is, it's probably best if you leave the critiques to me so we don't drive people away[/u]. [/quote] Great, now you guys are going to get banned. It's been fun roleplaying with you guys. Will miss everyone... :D
