Same here but so many people think they are boring! Just amuses me mostly. Still heavily leaning towards Cleric if nobody claims it by tomorrow I'll throw up stats and such for it. How much background should we write? I usually just go with the stuff from the guidebook as I prefer to let my actions do the talking.

Do it now!
Seriously, my best 5e experiences so far have been with clerics.

Technically by RAW there is no provision for a weapon that is also a focus. Only a holy symbol for paladins and clerics has RAW support for wearing or being on a shield. Anything else is up to GM discretion.

Thanks [MENTION=6853819]TallIan[/MENTION] and [MENTION=84381]Khale[/MENTION]ssNestor. Thanks for the information. Based on your input, I took a closer look at the rules and I see what is happening. A spell caster needs to be holding the arcane focus (p.203). However, the definition of Cleric says that they can use a Holy Symbol as a spell casting focus and the definition of Holy Symbol says that it can wear it visibly or bear it on a shield.
Given this, I think that Ara is actually going to go with a Component pouch - no need to re-sheath the arcane focus as he switches back to archer mode.
[MENTION=6853819]TallIan[/MENTION], thanks for the offer on supplies. My character has 15 gp, but quite a shopping list - starting with a Familiar (10 gp), not to mention melee and ranged weapons... it is enough to make Ara question - but not change - his decision not to start as a fighter.

For those who are on the fence about creating a character. I am new to D&D 5e and would really like to see a Barbarian in action.

[sblock=Background]Roy typically makes his living as an enforcer for the local thieves guild, though he's not adverse to some burglary, tomb robbing, mercenary work, etc.... He learned of the Sunless Citadel job through a friend who heard there was a group in need of some muscle for an upcoming dungeon delve and put him in touch with the group (for a small % of Roys' cut of course) Such things often pay well, & he got along with the other members, so he joined up.
"Ya had me at the loot, & the ladies aren't bad to look at, so let's go kill some stuff and get rich."
Roy's fire magic is not a readily known fact. He & a partner were involved in a smash & grab job some time back. One of the things Roy grabbed turned out to be a magical amulet that burst into flame, badly burning him, & searing its' imprint into the palm of his hand.
Since then he's discovered that he has the ability to produce a variety of fire based effects. "Makes me a pretty good arsonist."[/sblock]

Barbarians are fun. If you want to see one, watch Grog on Critical Role, too. I haven't had a chance to really play one too much.
