[QUOTE="Dan Chernozub, post: 7287458, member: 6899046"] [B]Intro[/B] After me deciding to try a printed module for the first time, three of my friends who have previously played my home-brew campaign decided to give it a try, too. And they brought another guy, who I will be DM-ing for the first time. So we are set to begin the Lost Mine of Phandelver. However, one of my returning players surprised me by telling that he wants to play a DM-generated character for personal reasons and trusts me on this. So the players are looking up to me to provide them with yet another form of content - a PC this time. And they are also looking for something to round up the party nicely. [B]The party so far:[/B] [U]Earthsoul Genasi Forge Domain Cleric[/U] - a prodigy child born into the noble golden dwarf family by the mountains themselves, seeking to perform the prophecy and bring glory to his people. [U]VHuman Drunken Master Monk[/U] - a former villager, set to hone his skill and test himself against the world outside. [U]VHuman Celestial Warlock[/U] - his player wants to test the class and the Eldritch Blast cantrip. [U]DM-generated Someone[/U] - ??? I am definitely going to give the character some hooks to the story and other characters in his background, however, I am completely lost regarding the role/class/race - i.e. mechanical things. This partially comes from my novelty to 5e in general and to the classes chosen specifically. Cleric should provide enough healing and support, but Monk and Warlock ... I haven't played either one and I've only had one Warlock in a party previously. Nor have I played/run LMoP before. Will they have enough utility? Do they [U]need[/U] more stealth and overall roguishness? Are they badly lacking a BDF aka Tank? My goal is to make the best use of trust put into me by the player(s) and to provide them with a PC that will enhance the party and the game experience overall. [B] Question:[/B] These forums are a great place for advice, so I am asking you, ENWorld: [U] What kind of character is the best choice to augment this party for the Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign?[/U] PS In case this matters - the game is going to be run more or less by the book, with one significant exception of more intelligent intelligent enemies - sentries won't fight to the death, but will call reinforcements if given the chance. This might increase the difficulty, but my players know what to expect. [/QUOTE]
