I play NWN when i can. I play as a Ranger, and possibly with a bit of Arcane Archer. Rangers, I just like them. I rp them the best, too.

oph yes yes rangers are good...people usually go with the melee weapon training and forget all about the archery aspect of the class
I'm a ranger in one of my current games. And in my other I'm a Spellthief. D&D 3.5... woo, I'm up to date. XD I don't play nearly as often as I'd like to be able to, though.
I also play Neverwinter Nights on occasion.
o i guess i should list mine...*ahem*
i play a human paladin in one current game, paladin of torm in the forgotten realms
also i have a warforged rogue in an eberron campaign
in NWN2 i have a human fighter
i recently retired an elven sorceror in another FR campaign
all of this is 3.5 of course
i was indoctrinated under 2nd ed. rules just before 3.0 was introduced a few years ago...it was quite a while ago as i remember...i played a human thief and was killed in the first session...i then rolled up his brother, a fighter, whose quest was to have him resurrected...but when we finally reached our goal, he had been tainted by an evil force and became the BBEG heheh so much fun!
I always go for ranged weapons. Mines generally never use meleé weapons.Originally Posted by Araciel

yes when you said arcane archer i was pleasantly surprised hehehe
Another build I tried once was the Wizard/Arcane Archer. Its not the strongest class, but its fun to play as.

I played one campaign as a cleric for a few months, setting generic. Then I DMed an Eberron campaign for a short while. Neither got very far.
i tried to do that once...played an elven wizard from 1st-4th level but he changed his focus and decided to go the way of a high mage...never made it...became a slave to the illithidss....gr...
My friends and I run the occasional pickup campaign based on various rulesets (usually D&D, D20 Modern, or Dice Chucker) that usually never last for more than an hour or so.
I never played too much D&D as me and my friends never could sit through a campaign (let alone the same character) and play the rules correctly (we had that one dude in every group that has to be the best and cheats to do so. >.<)
When we did play though, I liked the rouge and monk classes. Monk just for sheer power, and rouge for all the nifty little out of battle tactics I could use.
This space intentionally left blank.
I'm generally willing to play just about any available class, there are all kinds of character concepts that generally interest me. Sadly, as I'm more often than not the one who has to organize and thus DM the games, I don't get a chance to actually play a character a whole lot.
My last two characters were for the same campaign.
The first character was a chaotic neutral druid. He was a half-elf (using a different variant to make them more mechanically attractive that the DM had created) who was a believer in the power of nature through chaos. When riled, he would unleash upon his foes the full fury of nature.
However, outside of combat, he was fairly laid-back devil-may-care, likely an aspect of his chaotic nature. He went around and did as he pleased, so long as things weren't interfering with the natural world and were at least remotely amusing, he was up for it.
However, there was a point in the campaign where the DM approached me and said that a Druid, even with the Spontaneous Healer feat, was just not going to work as the primary healer of the party and asked that I switch, which I had no problem with.
The session before that people had gone after the party for what later turned out to be nefarious reasons. After the ranger got in an extended (and extended and extended) conversation with the guards about why they were being arrested, my druid (who had flown away as an eagle) flew back and gave himself up, essentially to get the ranger's player to shut up so we could move on, despite it being very out-of-character.
The session ended there, but I instead rolled up a Favored Soul and we ruled that the druid had just left, which is what he would have done anyway.
The Favored Soul was a fun one. He had 19 charisma, and thus I felt compelled to give him long silver hair. He also wielded a greatsword. And was a communist.
The party was first introduced to him inside of a cell as he was cursing the "imperialist bastard opressors" at the top of his lungs. He had the subtlty of a hammer to the face, and tended to be quite loud whenever he said anything.
Currently, I'm working on a campaign setting that I will start running when I get back to school, based off the video game Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. It'll be a really silly campaign, but has been in general a lot of fun to create. I will, of course, be DMing.
I play usually modules from various settings. Wow, I started playing in 1981 right after the hardback handbooks were published!
The most popular module back then was Tomb of Horrors.
Haven't played for a while, but I like rouges and Bards mostly. The Spirit shaman that came with Complete Divine was awsome as well.
I like using the specialized Necromancers from one of the Mongoose books though.
