What is your RPG playstyle?

[Roda]

I typically see myself as an explorer type. I like to discover new things, places, interactions, and silly little tricks. Completing a task efficiently is fine and all, but turning it into a trickshot is more fun

For combat I prefer control/manipulation over any other role, though when that's not available I'll opt for damage over things like tanking and healing, but I am at my best when I have direct control over how a battlefield behaves and am allowed to set up complex systems on the fly.
I prefer to play casters/exclusive magic users over all other class archetypes, though my favorite flavors are unassuming magic users who use guile and wit over raw primal power. Trickster-types! (Bonus points if they're using vague non-elemental sparkle magics instead of throwing another fireball at a problem)

My go-to D&D class is Bard for its stellar crowd control and supportive magics and its ability to do some phenomenal RP ass-pulls.

Sadly I do often have to go to other games to scratch my archetypal itches since most content here is very straight forward "hold W until you hit a monster, then do a dance while maintaining your damage rotation then repeat" within non-interactive hallways or flat platforms. :x
