Thanks@Brother Dave: I like your shifty wizard concept. While I'm playing a Bard, I'm going Lore versus Performer, so there won't be toe-stepping. Most of my spells will be the buff/debuff/heals kind.
Also, we're pretty barren in the "outdoors-y" department - Barbarian, Ranger, Druid - and no one's even hinted at wanting to play Monk. :3
I think someone has the Survival skill, though...
I've worked up several characters since the Basic rules came out, and then more since I got my PHB, trying to get a good feel for how the character development works in 5e. I've only really fleshed out a few of them with solid personalities and backstories, though. The Wild Mage/Actor is one of my favorites, but I have some others I like, too. Only one "woodsy" type that I've really fleshed out - a troubled Wood Elf Ranger/Scout who retired from the army with PTSD after his entire squad was annihilated by hill giants. If he ever tracks down that particular band.... Anyway, he was a roll-up, so I'll have to adjust his stats to fit the 27 point buy if I want to use him for this. Or I might just make up a new character from whole cloth. I'll think about it once I get home this afternoon.
