Mur-Zhagul (demon troll), but one with enough intelligence to become a great wizard. I'd take a couple levels of fighter first, then go eldritch knight/spellsword. Can't beat an armor wearing mage, who regenerates, has acid and fire resistance, spell resistance, plus a dancing weapon and a animated shield. Plus, whenever you want the ladies... you just polymorph

and if you found a lady who didn't need you to polymorph... with regeneration 10... just think of the kinky stuff you could do without worry of pain.

Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

Human, maybe Half-Elf. The class it what matters to me.

Will you have one of those cool head-lamps?

Human through and through. For me, the key part is being in the Realms, different races are just candy. Lol.

Understandably, all the players in my cross Realms 'play yourself' games over the years have also been humans. Some have sought transformations into other races over time (most notably people seeking cross blooded status to become sorcerers or such), but most have gained a new appreciation for simply playing humans! It's one of the things I like about playing a game where the characters are heroic in action, but not 'heroes' in terms of their statistics.

Not sure, I'm for human-centric worlds, but in this case definitely something different. Storm giant are fun, or githzerai, marid.

I wouldn't mind being an Aasimar, extended life span and cool powers or perhaps a Sun elf. Of course being a dragon is also pretty cool. Hmm I don't think i can pick one.

Dragon. Not sure on the subrace, probably a trickster like copper, mercury, or deep. Probably deep.

Demilich? Really? Beware what you ask for... that one sounds boring.... powerful but boring.

Powerful but Boring sounds wonderful. I could use that now. And being undead means no more headaches.

Male Llewyrr elf. Considering that they're outnumbered 3-1 by the females, I would have a pretty good time I think.....

Sun or moon elf. Yeah, sun elves can be arrogant, but I love the elven race as a whole. Their history is sad, but they persevere. I have always had an affinity for them.

A dragon, maybe a silver one. Or a dragonborn if dragons aren't allowed.

Instead of seeking change, you prefer a void, merciless abyss of a world...

Why not a water elf, then?

I'm not interested in spending all of my time in the water. I just want it as an option.
