1) How do you come up all your stuff? Your a fountain of ideas aren’t you :cool:

2) How about:

Wizard: Male, LN Stone Giant, wears a cloak, hat, and glasses - master of alchemy (kina like a grey Hulk rip off that focuses on arcane alchemy)

Thanks, its easy really. Just get any class, pick any random monster (w or w/o templates) until you get a combination you like. I've generally found that those who decide to play something really stupid like a half-blue dragon pseudonatural axiomatic winged insectile Giraffe + Thri-Kreen tauric Monk/Bard/Psion cant imagine what one looks like, unless a giant swarming mass of numbers and stats can be a character player.

Its easier just to randomly choose some classe's, then imagine monsters in that class get up...

Dark Stalker Samurai is an easy one to imagine, basicly just a pale, tall thin human wearing black armor (possibly spiky armor!) its that simple!
Wemic Psion is a little more tricky. How about a Wemic with its mane completely shaved off, psionic tatoos on his chest and hands, some gothic jewlerry and glowing purple eyes.
Beholder Paladin is difficult, but possible. It would need bright silver armor designed to fit its unusual body. Beholders are telikinetic, so her weapons might be floating around head when not in use.

I've got an image of your idea in my head, it looks cool!... :D
