I love it when you play so much DnD that your character choices sorta come full circle:

In your first ever game you might start out as a human fighter, or an elven rogue, or maybe just a half-elf wizard, and then you slowly progress to warlocks and artificers, homebrew perhaps??

But then at some point…you just sorta return to the basic???

For example: I had a moment after a one shot (one that several different groups had all played through separately) where a member of a different group, who had played DnD a year or two, had asked me, who at that point had played for about 5 years, what character I was playing.

I, of course, started ranting about what role in the party I wanted to explore and how I felt the role of ‘maternal’ and ‘the moral one’ was so often associated with being dull when in fact there’s so much unexplored potential in it, and how I wanted to challenge myself by being a character who truly wears their heart on their sleeve and-

Then he asked “ok, but what class and race are you tho?” “………….human fighter” “Ah. There’s no shame in being a bit basic I guess”

#sorry for this ramble I just sorta randomly remembered this #idk something something when you’ve played a bit but not too much you sorta feel you HAVE TO explore all the different classes?#idk I just remember that I was always a bit disappointed when I felt i had to prioritize new class/race choices over good character building #human fighters can be so cool you guys!!!!!#(is it obvious this post is coming from someone who thinks paladins are one pf the best dnd classes)#(and who’s sorta never cared much for dnd race)#maria talks about things #dungeons and dragons #d&d #this obviously doesn’t apply to everyone:#I’m sure tons of people played drow multi class bard blood hunters for their first roles #I think my first ever proper character (that wasn’t the premade ones) was an elven druid??#but quite frankly I’ve always rlly liked ‘basic’ characters with basic concepts that later end up betraying those very concepts #I miss Felton;-;#<-DMPC cocky half elven sorcerer that all the players made a rlly big deal of ‘hating’#(dw they secretly loved him)#that died in combat and fell in a river (i think??)#and was replaced with another character #but then was later revived and Came Back Wrong #me when the cocky noble fire sorcerer is suddenly shy and timid and refuses to use fire magic #(those who know me irl will prob notice that this post-death character is what inspired another elven sorcerer I’ve played)
