I'm having a bit of trouble deciding what kind of cahracter I'm going to play next, so I'm asking you for help.

What have you played this far?

female elf druid NG
tiefling theif CG

that's another thing. If you could also say alignment, that would be nice.

Female,Dwarf,Sorcerer for laughing out loud!

I would recommend downloading modules from the Net. They're shorter than the OC and it's easier to try out different characters and classes on them. Some of them also use class specific abilities that the OC don't.

The types of modules I like the most are the story and roleplaying intense ones which forces, or rather strongly recommed, you to play a specific class, race or alignment. On some of them there's even a pre-defined character for you to play.

If you on the other hand mean the OC only then I can't help you much, sorry. There are some classes I enjoy playing, but that doesn't mean that you would think the same. You simply have to choos the class you most like to play, just remember that the OC is almost identical regardless of what class you play.

Not Sorcerer perhaps but a Dwarven Wizard could be interresting. A +2 to CON, hardiness vs. poison and spells and skill affinity (Lore) could produce a very good Wizard.

Now THAT would be a cool and unusual character to try, Dragonshadow. ;)

I like to theme my chars, I made a mad vampire (female, human sorcerer) and a fortune teller (female sorcerer, hafling) If you want to really theme your char use the toolset to change the appearance of your' armor.

I did almost the same with tht vampire thingy. My character was and still is, Half-Vampire - Male Sorcerer - Lawful Evil.

DS, you could play adwarf female wizard Chaotic evil, that might be fun...

You know the packages option...how much difference is there between them? I mean, i don't use them because you can never check what the package has chosen before you start the game...

I never use the packages for the very reason you mention. I much prefer to select my own feats and allocate my own skill points.

The skills in particular however tend to be more concentrated in some areas.
