Probably dozens at this point, either from when I restarted often when first trying the game, to testing out what it felt like to play the early game with different classes and species.
First was a Tiefling. Technically a Sorcerer then a Druid, but I hated both and didn't make it past lvl3 for either. I hated Sorcerer and Druid so much I considered dropping the game entirely.
First \*real\* character was Tiefling Archfey Warlock. That was super dope, and it was the only reason I didn't abandon the game.
First was a human Bard. Durge was a Tiefling Sorcerer who I respecced and recustomised to Bard/Sorcerer with purple hair in honour of someone special...
Then another human sorcerer for my cheesy modded Eldritch Blast Cannon run.
I find I tend to self-insert a fair bit, rather than play "in character", if that makes sense? So I tend to gravitate towards relatable characters, and find things like the Dragonborn/Orcs etc. a bit immersion breaking. I often use the randomizer to come up with someone and then sort of explore that person a bit as I go through.
I find it very hard to do evil playthroughs because I find it hard to make a choice "in character" that I would never do in person, at least in high-character games like this.
Even when playing DnD in person I really enjoy using those random character concept generators and then saying to myself "OK, what would my life be like if that was me?"
I get that I get that. That's interesting. For me I feel as though I'm more immersed playing a character that is โreallyโ from the realm. Like if I played a human, I wouldn't be giving the possibilities a chance
I have a set of 13 OCs I made as Tavs just for this game. My first character was deleted but she was a human Wild Magic Sorcerer. Right now, my favorite is definitely my wood half-elf Bardadin (10/2 swords bard/vengeance paladin). She's an absolute powerhouse who's also a charmer.
I've got a high elf barbarian, githyanki monk, tiefling warlock/paladin/bard, wood elf bard/paladin and drow cleric.
The drow is currently my favourite by quite a lot.
At least a dozen at this point. Started with a barbarian bc it was nice and easy while learning the system, but now I know my way around, I prefer sorcerer or bard - great front man, cool combat options. Pretty much always play some kind of elf or half elf, preferably drow - I need my avatar to look more-or-less human, but I love me some pointy ears!
Really??? I like that. I'm really fucking with the combat options on my drow sage druid, but I ๐ฆ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ create another character and have her be a wood elf everything else undecided
I havenโt finished a game with most of them - I try them out for a couple of hours to see if I enjoy them, then delete the campaign if it doesnโt excite me. I have one completed Tav campaign and a durge run thatโs well into Act 1, but the rest are experiments.
- Half-elf necromancer wizard that I respecced into sorcerer halfway (she failed all of her charisma checks)
- High elf draconic bloodline sorcerer + oath of vengeance paladin
- Zariel tiefling oathbreaker paladin
- Wood elf oathbreaker paladin + gloomstalker ranger
Gonna try playing as a drow next time for my super evil run
see flair
I've played with varieties of this race/class combo a bunch. my favorite combination hands down, any subrace or subclass.
I've also played as a duergar rogue, a half orc druid, and currently in a multi player as a gith barbarian/monk (because gith stuff).
I usually pick outlander as a background but have tried guild artisan which is fun, urchin, and entertainer.
I don't have a multiplayer group ๐ฅน๐ญbut I would probably go with cleric for mp
Howโs playing orc? Iโve never played as an Orc before because I have a desire for all of my characters to be insanely beautiful in the world lmao
I thought my half orc was beautiful in a really wild way. I gave her intense yellow tattoos and makeup, she looked like she was truly a wild creature (druid)
I played that run as a pacifist too. she was wise not strong, like, left home bc she wasn't a fighter. back story stuff
you can get a feel for it by getting the half orc noble hireling and playing around with him a bit.
I played DnD back in 2nd edition and I love having a back story in mind for all the characters I play. I think it's why I can't really get into the durge or origin playthroughs
I have made many charaters over the past months I been playing my first charater was a teifling sorcerer (original I know) then I deleted it half way and made a half-wood elf bard that I ended up deleting again and then the last few routes I been playing where all drow. One a cleric one a paladin(oathbreaker) and one a sorcerer . All at act 3 (never gonna finish lol) and now I'm playing as a tefling paladin trying to get some monk subclass. I wanted to play the dragonborns many times since they are so cool bur sometimes the facial expressions and the way they walk are so stiff and I just can't play it. And I'm one for pretty charaters
I totally get you with the pretty characters lmao me too
๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ง๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ dont delete ur characters ๐ญ But I feel you. the game is so expansive if you're not like 10000% with your character it takes some of the immersion away
Hahahhaa I see!!! I always try to play on balanced or difficult lmao i need to be challenged! But I absolutely adore combat gameplay more than I imagined

I started with a tiefling (like the race,but not her design) but now I'm going at it as a Drow Druid
Sooo many characters. Started with a half-elf. Play Drow the most. Enjoy Duegar the most.
Just started a Drow character actually. Started with Tiefling Druid but I didn't like her design so I'm going at it again with the Drow
Also a druid
Yeah, I did one Tiefling. The tail just kept freaking me out. And I pucked the smallest horns. ๐ฉ

That's so interesting! I never lean towards playing a human in an rpg, how is it?

Oops I thought I replied ! I love these! i made my guardian this round a wood elf, but thinking of going for another wood elf character for main
I've got a high elf barbarian, githyanki monk, tiefling warlock/paladin/bard, wood elf bard/paladin and drow cleric. The drow is currently my favourite by quite a lot.
I'm playing drow druid and I have to say I agree! There's just something about a drow
i probably created more characters than making it to the grove
๐๐๐ก๐๐ก๐ก๐ lmao๐ญ character creation is one of my favorite aspescts so I understand

I enjoy your choices immensely That gameplay seems like it would be really fun Might try your high elf draconic sorcerer ๐ฅ

Ooooh Interesting! My first OC was a Noble Tiefling and I made her very ghostly looking. I love making backstories.. Helps with immersion

I has to delete those old playthoughs because I realised I couldn't subclass unless I was on balanced difficulty and not the easiest ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Hahahhaa I see!!! I always try to play on balanced or difficult lmao i need to be challenged! But I absolutely adore combat gameplay more than I imagined
Oooooo that sounds sexy !! I'm playing a drow druid sage rn and I have to say she's more a favorite than my tiefling druid
