Suppose you (not your character, you) were in a D&D campaign world. What kind of character would you be?

Myself, I'd probably be a half-elf fighter which used light weapons and armour, with stuff like Weapon Finesse. Clearly more oriented towards Dexterity than Strength.

An Elven wizard

I couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag. I've never had any real training in bows, either.

I have all the earmarks of a finger waggler anyway

Something really weird, like a halfling sorceror or something.

A neutral human necromancer or an illusionist.

If prestige classes count, pale master.

Ah, forgot a few things:

My weapon would be a shortsword, with another ready to be weilded should I need some heavy damage. I'd have a buckler on my off-hand. My favourite armour would be no armour, my high Dex mod will take care of it all.

As for feats, I'd have Ambidexterity, and of course, Weapon Finesse with Shortswords.

Human Fighter/Barbarian with good all-around stats.

The kind of cool and composed guy that raises an army but occasionally loses his temper and goes baresark on his troops or enemies.

I'd use heavy ass shit, like greatclubs.

Ah, as for stuff like clothes and personality...

I'd be content to just be the hugeass thorn in everyone's sides. Not evil, but really bugass annoying, and with great/horrible timing. Screw weapons: I have magic! And a sense of atmosphere. Glowy lights and weird sounds in eerie forests, knowing just the right bit of chaos to insert into an already frustrating situation to make people insane... just be a pest.

A half-elven bard.

And not one of those famous bards, the kind that go around and are well known but the one that gets about 3/4 of the way there. And ends up the kind that ends up in more trouble then anyone else.

A short sword, chainmail whenever I'd go dungeon crawling and my trusted lute. Pretty good stats. Maybe a lower wisdom and a high charisma.

I'd be a magic item of some sort.

Oh, not my character? In that case, I'd just go play Mage.

Heh. My D&D class would probably be "NPC."

I'd be the town scribe/minor healer. Probably halfling. Classical halfling, though - none of this 3rd Ed. "revised halfling" stuff.

Split class sorcerer/psionic (metacreative).

From the sorcerer side, I would use lots of illusion and creation spells. More or less ditto with the psionic side.

All the stuff and images in my head, brought to life. Dealing with me would be like taking a hit of acid. Taking a hit of acid, THEN dealing with me, would feel fairly normal.

And if you really pissed me off, all the worms in my head would come out to play...

Outfit: something comfortable (as close to t-shirt and sweatpants as I can get), with slippers and a cape or cloak.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Wood elf/human and I would be umm the queen! So I could wear nice cloaths. And order people around.

Later I get turned into a vampire and still get to wear nice cloaths and be all dark and stuff.
