How do you pick. . .

[jimbal]

I love drawing everything randomly, from heroes, to L shapes, to randomly rolling for optional rules. Makes every game session a little more interesting and forces people to try new things.

In my current Pathfinder campaign everyone but my brother and my friends girlfriend drew randomly for what class, race, and sex their character would be with no option to not play it. I have never played a prep caster and I ended up drawing a male halfling witch. I was mad when I got it because prep casting annoys me, I am more of a Hulk Smash melee player. But I have enjoyed playing this character so much I would be willing to randomly draw like this for any campaign we play in the future. Everyone who drew random ended up playing a class they wouldnt normally pick so it has been a really interesting and fun campaign as we are all learning to play classes we normally would never even try. If anyone plays D&D or other table top rpg's, I highly recommend giving this a shot, it has changed and helped our group become better Role Players and even strategists. Drawing randomly for sex has been strange as some people have a really hard time gender bending a character, most male players I have played with always end up making their female character a bit of a whore. If you have more mature players though this is really fun because they learn to try and use their characters sex to get ahead without being slutty leaving you with a much ore fun character to have in your party.

I am too long winded on most of my posts, I know. I just always have a lot to say when the subject interests me.
