    You've Created A Bad Character. How, why and whose fault is it?

    Agreed...which is why I never referred to him as a non-combatant - I specifically called him a "combatant who won't use a (standard) weapon." Not sure exactly what you're "correcting" me about. Johnathan

    You've Created A Bad Character. How, why and whose fault is it?

    In my current D&D 3.5 campaign, my son decided to play D&D in "hard mode" and rolled up a half-orc cleric/paladin who purposefully refuses to wield a weapon, knowing he already looks fearsome enough as it is and is usually mistrusted because of his looks.

    D&D 5E Chris Perkins Lays Down Some Lore: Who Was Vecna?
