Every RPG i ever played, i allways started with same character:
Elf (dark if possible, so Drow around here) Female Rogue, named Fanaszun ...
True Neutral ... Criminal background ... Blade Dancer subclass (or something close), or straight forward Assassin.
I think she would go with Gale, Shadowheart and Karlach ...
Picking Tieflings over Goblins.
Refusing tadpole powers.

But as i started to play BG-3 i have found a group for virtual TTRPG ...
Where i created Wizard named Tav (inspiration is clear i believe laugh ) ... who as story was going on actually became GOO Warlock. smile
So ... im quite tempted to continue his story. laugh

And im certainly looking forward to my almost full custom party of 4 Githyanki ...
(yes i know playing with same races is not recomended, especialy with race that dont have Darkvision smile )
Lae'zel, Quin'zel (Draconic Sorcerer), Rapun'zel (Hunter Ranger) and Jeff (Vlaakith Cleric). laugh


I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. frown
Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown
