To the note of "Druids intimidate me," I really think that Druids, of any class in D&D, reward the effort you put into them, especially understanding game mechanics. They can be super, super powerful and equally versatile on the drop of a hat. This at once makes them super powerful AND rewards people (like me) that over think and over research everything because I can leverage the mechanics at my disposal better.

Because of how my online group works, I usually end up being the last person who finds out about the upcoming new campaign and prepares for it - the others are often talking together late at night (well, late for me), get excited about it together, and either plan or discuss characters together, and I just come in later to ask "so, what did everybody else make?" and decide which niche I kinda feel like filling. Since we're a larger group, I don't necessarily have to fill a healer or tank or such role, perhaps just acting as useful redundancy coverage (which lets me play some odd choices, if I'm interested), but I'm used to knowing what I'm playing with.

I like this approach when I am one of the players with the most experience. I prefer to let the newer players experience what excites them and what feels easiest for them to grasp. Then I try to fill in from there. If the table is equally experienced, I try to select something thats most likely to drive fun drama between characters. Ie choosing a rogue to playfully pester the paladin.

I had 2 guys want to play a ranger and I allowed it but made one focus on the Mage spells and teh other focus on a more druidical path and showed , that you did not need sub classes to play the same class differently and have specific class builds .. It becomes true role playing when you do not rely on mechanics to accomplish your goals as a player and in my humble opinion allows for greateer creativity .

I was once bored over a winter break and decided to make a character for each of the (at the time) 12 classes. I rolled for race (2d10, 0 is reroll, PHB table of contents for order, pick between the two rolls), tried to pick as random a background as possible, thought "now how would this character come about?", and built them to level 5. I got about 4-5 great concepts out of that practice, and a lot more experience with the lower-level class abilities as I read through what each character could do. My personal favorites from that practice are Delta, the half-elf Tempest Cleric Sailor, Pywren the Tiefling Sorcerer Soldier, and Fern the Half-Orc Druid, whose herd strives to protect the forest they hunt in. Best of all, I now have several pocket characters with ready-made backstories that I can level up or down, should the need arise.

It also motivates me to flesh out the bare kernel of an initioal idea for a fun twist on a class or archetype*.

I have so many character ideas for Pathfinder 2e that I can just say “Hey; I’ve got a half-orc melee Ranger, an Automaton weapon Inventor, or a tiefling ratfolk magus with a great sword, you guys make your characters while I decide which one to actually use.” I think I’ve got characters ready for just about any “role”, such as they exist. Although it’s probably gonna come down to how many of the others make characters trained in Medicine (seriously; that skill and two related skill feats - Ward Medic and Continual Recovery - is probably the single best source of out-of-combat healing in the game if you’re not under a time pressure). Problem is I also have a bunch of meme ideas - like the latest one of a Leshy Druid with a Leshy Familiar (far from original, people have been kicking that combo around since leshies first came to the game, but this was gonna be an Ifrit Leshy grown from a chilli plant).

90% of my characters follow this approach, however I would add that I never care what CLASS someone is playing. I want to know what KIND of character. What do they do? I don't care that you're a fighter, I wanna know are you an archer? Do you smash things with a greatsword? Are you nimble and quick with daggers? Are you the meat shield/tank/damage sponge running around with lots of HP, AC, and Damage mitigation? WHAT characters do and HOW they do it is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than the class/subclass they're playing. I've seen people with entirely different classes upset because they're playing basically the same character.

As someone who hasn't been a player in a few years, this is actually my plan for an upcoming game that I'll get to play in. We've got a few new players so I'm going to let everyone else pick what they want to play first, then I'll create my character around theirs. Basically, I don't want my character to step on anyone's toes mechanically or from a roleplay perspective, I also prefer to have my characters to be able to fill a specific niche. It also lets me scale back the power of my character a bit the match roughly how the new players build their characters, I'd rather not come off as 'That Guy' with some hyper optimised min-maxed character. Plus I have so many different character ideas and concepts that I've thought up over the years but never had a chance to play while DMing. Great video as always Mike!

This is exactly how I've dealt with my newest character for an upcoming campaign and honestly my prefered way of doing it. It's going to be a party of 3 and the other 2 are kinda new (started in a campaign that fizzled out a couple months ago in which I was also part with some other players). One of them wanted to repeat a rogue with the gained knowledge, while the other settled in a paladin for which she has a deep love. In my case, I love clerics. Clerics are my thing, and they know it. But since I never play anything charismatic I wanted to give it a go, and as the paladin player is very much not likely going to be neither healing or doing facey stuff I chose a sorcerer. A divine soul one (with a potential 3 lvl dip into celestial warlock for lore and gameplay implications) so I can scratch my cleric itch. I'm really hyped to play this one and if anyone bothered to read all this: have a great day/night/whatever may be going on for you :)

I tend to join a lot of ongoing games. Not sure why, it’s just what happens. I’m very rarely the legacy player in a campaign. This isn’t a bad thing. If anything, the style of character creation you are talking about here is why I am good at this and enjoy myself too. I tend to fish for information from the other players and the dm about their world, their characters, their themes, and their play styles (and yes, the mechanics too). I then try to make or find threads that will neatly allow my character to interact with each in some interesting way. I try to make parallel themes, or make my character a foil to another, or maybe tie certain backstory elements (with permission) or tie my own backstory into a part of the world the dm might want to show off or where they have a plot point they want the character to interact with. I try to write my characters up with plot hooks that will entice the other players and the dm to invest in my character and also make my character one that will want to be invested in theirs. Mechanically I do try to find areas that might help the party in their tactics. But I more focus on the social part when I can. I can usually make a suitable character with any class.

Am I a mud farmer on his last legs just looking for some excitement before my inevitable death? Am I an outcast that is seeking magical prowess to prove myself? Am I fanatically devoted to following the will of the gods, but not entirely sure which gods or what their will might be? As I’ve played longer, I have found this question way more important than what class/race combo I want to play. (Though there is for sure interplay between the two)

I will add to this that it's also kind of the technique you use when you are making a backup character. In my group we also care about group balance (there's a lot of gamers in it) so when someone dies the player first question when he needs to recreate a character is "what are we missing?". Plus you have a better understanding of the group dynamics and of the universe of the game to guide the creation of the character, which rejoin the "tailor made character" idea you were saying. Honestly I always had a lot of fun playing backups character. Hell the current character I'm playing is my backup in Strahd and they are honestly my favorite character I played in dnd

In the past, I have almost always selected my character to round out the party, and my approach did not change until the pandemic began. Years and years of being the rogue or cleric. Since then, I've been more concept driven, letting a few options bubble up when I learn about the setting and then selecting one I feel will work with the setting and be enjoyable. My abjurer was an excellent fit for one campaign, my swashbuckler (PF2E) was a poor fit for another. I am waiting on an upcoming campaign where I've settled on a character, and we explicitly don't know what anyone else is playing. I may go back to waiting and filling in the gaps, but probably in a hybrid model, as you articulated. Have a few options, and then see which suits the circumstances.

I was in a game where we had 2 Rangers. I joined about 4 sessions in and the dm wouldn't tell me what classes the others were playing so I chose drakewarden ranger. One of the other players was a beast master and my character was severely outperforming hers in combat. I'm talking close to 2x or 3x damage. The dm then decided to lvl everyone up except for my character to "balance the party" but it didn't fix anything. I was still basically solo-ing every encounter because of my high plus to hit and extra damage from the drake and spells. Eventually the other player got upset and the dm had to kick me from the group. Keep in mind I took extra steps to make sure I wasn't power gaming. I actively refused magic items so I wouldn't be too strong and even tried playing support for a few encounters. Ever since that group I've taken special care not to choose the same class or even race as another player when creating characters so I can avoid a similar outcome

It's interesting, if unsurprising, that for the mono-class campaigns both featured very versatile full casters. Bard and Druid especially have the versatility and breadth to really put some space between characters, and magic gives everyone something unique... I sometimes wonder what a mono-class Fighter, or mono-class Rogue or Barbarian game might look like, how the DM would be able to change things knowing the players might never have access to the problem-solving magic of casters to any really effective level.

8:25 - Classes should fall into multiple sets where appropriate. A paladin is more Warrior than Priest, and this bizarre insistence that there’s four cleanly defined sets with three classes each just seems like pointless devotion to the number 12, and it’s wrong anyway because it forgets the Artificer, who’s a Expert and Mage, with a few Priest and Warrior features. WotC screwed up the design on this edition’s version, but the concept of someone who makes and uses items to do their magic is fun. When you’re scribing scrolls, you’re more of a ‘prepared caster’ than the wizard. I like the City of Heroes (and Villains) party roles. Tanker is good at taking the hits so other’s don’t have to. Scrappers can dish out melee damage and give the tank a break, but they’re best at locking down and taking out high threat solo enemies. Blaster shoots, and often ends up inspecting the carpet because they drew too much attention. The Defender desperately tries to keep everyone alive with buffs and heals. The controller tries to lock down the enemies so they can be dealt with safely and methodically, but of course the Blaster can’t handle target selection…

Like having that ONE character idea and bringing it into next game no matter how it fits, puzzles me. And it's a little irritating. Not enough to bring up, more like a scratchy seam or tag in your shirt. Ignorable, but still there.

Those who wait to settle on a character have always pissed me off as a GM. This is entirely due to one player in games I ran in the 80s. This was based on his desire to be the center of attention.
