I agree with you totally that there are some sorts of cliches and they are quite annoying, but you have to understand, sometimes it just happens that way. eg: in Reclaiming the City, of my three characters there, one is a shieldmaiden. However, she was the first character I ever submitted, so I hope you all could forgive me [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I think that that is exactly what often happens. Somebody looks briefly over a few RPGs, sees that there are plenty shieldmaidens, elvish or not, and decides to make their own. Which leads to more of them... I think that if there's one per every 3 or so RPGs it's fine, but not like it is now. I think the people in charge of this should make some sort of rule that only your every 3rd character can be a shieldmaiden or something like that...
