D&D 5E PH(B) Hermit Background

[Sir Brennen]

The PHB has gone to the printers, yeah? I hope the two glaring grammatical errors in the Discovery feature section are from an older galley or mock-up, and aren't indicative of proof-reading for the new core books in general.

"Site" instead of "Sight". "damaging to the people who or consigned you" .. missing verb before the "or"?

 

[jadrax]

Druid, or Paladin, or Ranger, or Cleric, or Barbarian, ...

Monk seems the most obvious class combo.

But also;

Fighter, the lone swordmaster who lives in the mountains.

Any arcane (non-bard) spell caster in a tower in the middle of no-where.


The obvious social characters, Rogue and Bard are probably the least likely combos.

 

[Umbran]

"Scroll case stuffed with notes..." Silly, Barbarians cant take notes lol

Sure they can! They take them at swordpoint from silly weakling citified bookreaders who come wandering by!

 

[sidonunspa]

I can see doing a Wild Mage/Hermit... the "Crazy Old Guy" who "knows things"

 

[Kobold Stew]

"Site" instead of "Sight".

This is fine, isn't it?

"It could be [an area of ground where a building or monument is constructed] that no one else has ever seen."

That's at least more interesting than "sight...no one else has seen".

 

[Mouseferatu]

I'm kind of liking the "warlock hermit whose patron and cosmic secret are somehow one and the same" idea, myself.

 

[SigmaOne]

This is fine, isn't it?

"It could be [an area of ground where a building or monument is constructed] that no one else has ever seen."

That's at least more interesting than "sight...no one else has seen".

Yeah, I didn't even read that as a typo. I think either site or sight could be used there; though I suppose "sight" would be more general.

 

[SigmaOne]

I love seeing all the thoughts coming out of this. I'm so glad backgrounds are an integral part of the game. More glad that I had thought I'd be.

 

[JonWake]

Oooh, and exiled Fighter who learned the Terrible Truth behind the Thirty Years War. If they knew who they were really fighting for, everything would change. But he needs proof.

 

[Li Shenron]

That's a great teaser!

I'm happy to see the Hermit background, especially because a monastic background was one of the two I thought were missing from the playtest. The other one was a merchant background, I can still hope for that as well
