    I love how Sam once made a joke (I dont recall when, but I think it was during the guest-character battle royal) about making a warlock who’s patron was advertising/sponsors, and low and fucking behold the man finds a way to not only do so but make it canon.

    My young cousin's a huge Critfan (Critter?), and for a pirates oneshot in my setting he made a changeling. None of the players found out he was a changeling woman until his character went unconscious in the oneshot's boss-fight. In the sequel, his changeling designed the saltwater potions that broke the pirates out of their fountain-induced brainwashings. The kid is Sam Reigel personified, even when he's too busy to talk during a game. Chaos.

It is like saying two wizards have the same feel because they are both so intelligent/ knowledgeadble. While you can play the classes in a way that is not stereotypical and make for example a very shy and anxious bard, most of the times you end up with at least a little stereotypical of a character.
