I don't typically role warriors/tanks and if I do then it's either as a stand-by replacement for someone else (MMO's) or because rogues are not allowed some of the flashier weapons in the game, like 2Hers and launchers (rpgs). When I do tank for an MMO group I find it gets boring quite quickly and even with health potions or self-heal abilities you are in the end relying on someone else to repair the inevitable damage to your face. To accompany all that information, I don't roll a race that has +str as their main or one of their headlining perks.
Rogues on the other hand are my first choice class. It's not to be a thief or some degree of criminal, I just can't stand things getting in my way and the sweet +dex and movement bonuses given to rogue-ish classes helps a lot in that regard. While my party or other players go through the front gate or crash through the underbrush, I'm scaling walls and running through treetops. As to the combat aspect, once you're engaged in battle, it usually means someone is going to die. Better to be able to choose your own combat conditions. If the challenge is high enough, it's better for you to set the pace of the battle by getting the first strike. Short (gnomes, tarutaru) and lithe (elves, mithra) races are my go-to choices.[footnote]There's a special kind of thrill to running someone through with an arrow or blade while you yourself only come up to their kneecaps.[/footnote]

I have never played a cleric or bard. I'm not fond of the concepts, spell-lists, or class abilities. I like to nuke, crush, or outmaneuver my enemies in games.
As for races I don't play... I'm not fond of elves. I like an underdog or a character with something to prove, and elves usually don't fit those. If I want to play arrogant and condescending, I play a dwarf.

I avoid stealthier classes when possible. Simply because they rely on it, and are Mcweaksauce if they are seen.
As for what race I normally play I go with whatever gives me a bonus trait or perk towards the class I choose.
I tend to avoid dwarves, gnomes, halflings or whatever they are named, when possible. Simply because the armour more than often looks bad on them.

I never play as humans. I have to live as a human so whenever I get the chance to play as any other race I take it up. Recently I've taken up WoW and have only played Hoard except for one 5 hour play-through as a Dranei. I like Dwarves but I dislike Gnomes.
In terms of classes I'm always a rouge or, failing that, some flavor of damaging class (close range, never play as an archer or, shooter). I don't often tank and, I never play healing classes. I've recently begun to see the appeal of playing a mage. Where Magi are concerned though it's buffing that I do, like with the Warlock class. Strangely enough I don't like to play summoning classes (outside of Final Fantasy in which I always have a summoner in my party)

You can put me down as hating the Bards stupid "Any Non-Lawful" requirment. Obeying rules and following order makes me unable to play music? How does that work?Thistlehart said:
Never any ranged classes. I don't know, there's something I don't like about being away from my enemy. I don't want to run. I want to fight!
So that cuts out bows and arrows and magic. (Though if theres a combination of swords and spells, then I'm in.)

Warriors, or the equivalent "brute strength" races and classes, like the Soldier in Mass Effect. Hack and slash or being the tank has no real appeal to me, and I find it gets very boring very quickly.
I prefer being a rogue or mage, or a combination of the two.

In pen and paper RPG, I almost every time choose to make a warrior character.... We use to play a low fantasy setting, so a mage is very deadly, however he can be killed pretty fast too 
In games, I play most of the time every possibe way... except Ranged attack with bow and arrow- they don't stick with me.

I don't play as dwarves for some reason.
Maybe it's cause I'm 6'4" and I find it hard to connect to my character...

I hate playing as straight magic users. But then again I generally don't like class systems in RPG's because I prefer a little flexibility in my characters. As for races, humans generally get the job done well enough.
Straight up Barbarians/Thump-thumps.
I've played technical warriors, leaders and all around badasses. I've also played everything else, but I cannot for the life of me enjoy playing "That dude who does nothing else but stack STR and hit things."
Hulking out is only fun once in a while. If you do it all the time, it becomes one-dimensional and boring.
As for races...
Well, it's not a race per say, but...children.
I fucking HATE the "Magical Girl" and "Smartass, 11 year old prodigy" tropes.
The only time I can imagine it really working out for me was Gau, and he was just your typical "Raised by wild animals" trope taken to the Nth degree.

Bards and other major buff classes. Fighty and explodey crossed with a little enhancement good, the act of only enhancing for the most part bad.
There are only two ways you could make me want to be the bard class. Either I have to rock the night like Donovan Deegan or I have to be The Bard Who Always Insults People.

usually the most magical kind. (wizard,healer) I usually pick like a tank warrior type, a rouge or a ranged type like an archerer. I know most rpgs have ALOT to do with magic but I like the strength type guys.
Barbarians-to mentally challenged
Tanks-to slow
Bards-to passive
I prefer aggressive/tactical Rouges
or damage mages
