Human Rogue or Fighter. I seem to tend to avoid spellcasters.

Just 'cause it sounds weird you can throw the net 15' without disadvantage if you have the Sharpshooter Feat...

Yep. Finesse allows either DEX or STR to be used. Also note that Darts can be used to make a melee attack without disadvantage since they do not have the Ammunition property.

I've never thought of Perception as a physical skill, and I agree with S_Dalsgaard re: Athletics.

The assumption being that Bonus Actions can only be taken once Initiative has been rolled? So Misty Step cannot be cast unless Initiative has been rolled, also? I have not seen anything in the rules that support this.

The Half-elf gets +2 CHA, +1 to two stats, 2 skills, Darkvision, Fey Ancestry, and 2 languages. Your Human subraces need something more, though I would steer clear of expertise. Maybe racial/cultural weapon proficiencies?

The RAW answer, as far as I can tell, is this: Whichever weapon attack(s) you make with the ATTACK Action gets the extra damage from STR/DEX; Whichever weapon attack you make with the BONUS Action does not. You cannot use the same weapon for both the ATTACK Action and the BONUS Action. There...

Yep. but the spell in question does not have M listed as a component.

By RAW you do not need to be holding the stones. They are fluff.

To be fair, it has been read both ways (the Section is called "Breaking up your Move" - move is singular); this also affects how you (potentially) rule on Evasive Footwork - which works until you stop moving. My take is this - if you were allowed to act while sharing a space, the rules would...

Curious. The groups I tend to play with (5E anyway) have all been very feat heavy. Not because it optimizes a PC for combat but because they open up options across all three pillars of play - not all of them, true, but a great many of them. Feats liked Skilled, Linguist, Keen Mind, Lucky, and...

Bribery is included in Negotiation.

Shove, Misty Step, Surrender, Negotiate, Thunderwave, Gust*, .....

No. You can not take your action while you are in a space occupied by another character.

We know all PCs are literate - that is very different from everyone. YMMV

You might try one of the skill variants that tie proficiency to traits and/or background, rather than the standard method. That would seem to work well for that type of focused campaign. it would also allow different characters to showcase different environments: the Fighter (sailor) would be...

Kamikaze Midget hit it on the head. The D&D Bard comes from Celtic traditions and folklore. see here for just a bit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogma

Sounds good to me. For Pete's sake, names can be changed, and Drizzt can be expunged...

Of the Fighting Styles available to the Fighter, several would be viable for a Katana equipped Samurai: 1) Great Weapon Fighting Style - still get to re-roll 1's and 2's with versatile weapons held in two hands. 2) Defense - AC is nothing to sneeze at, since you are giving up your shield, 3)...

I definitely think of the three musketeers style rapier, not an épée. But then I have no issues with the mechanics as written...
