If Panda, be a monk.
As for gear size, take Monkey Grip and use oversized weapons. That way, when you increase size, you'll have no penalty using the weapons at all.
A monk- the Panda above- will have no issue with this at all. |
I forgot about monkey grip! Thanks for the tip! That will solve our weapon problem, at least.
Alrighty, so we have decided to model our characters after famous bears (for humor value):
1. Our ranger will be modeled after Smokey the Bear. He plans to use a large sized spade as his main weapon.
2. The rogue is modeled after Yogi the Bear. Skilled at the arts of misdirection and picknic basket snatching.
3. The monk is modeled after Winnie the Pooh. He figures that Winnie is a monk because of his knowledge of the Tao and eastern philosophy (if you haven't read The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff, I highly recommend you give a look).
4. My character, the bard, is modeled after Baloo from the Jungle Book. Baloo is a party animal, who is an excellent singer and dancer. Also, in the original story, he thought the jungle cubs the Law of the Jungle, so I figure the bardic knowledge aspect of the class would represent his lorekeeper role.
I appreciate the thoughts thus far; keep them coming.
And yet another word from our sponsors
