    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    My DM's would beg to differ :) Their aspect is "if you aren't going to buy it, you aren't going to play it" :) So Singing or using makeshift objects for purcussion is unlikey :) They even make our Bard buy sheet music with gold and is thus restricted to what she buys :) She even has to start...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    I like the Drumming Aspect . . . It's just she doesn't have a Drum xD So I guess cooking isn't such a bad aspect to aim for :)

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    Tis worth nothing that she's pretty jacked and weighs about 120lb due to her pretty serious muscle :) (To be honest, she got strong recently. She should weigh a bit more now . . .)

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    I think she is . . . uncomfortable with Dwarfss being present. She has killed Drarfs, they were violent and yet they are walking around. It's like she has two seperate realities to deal with. The whole "you're killing Dwarfs" thing was normal to her until they became "normal" and Orcs became...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    I think she is having an Identity crisis. Not because she doesn't know herself but because she feels inadequate. I will get her to look for occupation but I'm pretty sure she'll be staying off the drink since she's a bit of a health nut. As for long term goals, she doesn't know. I don't know...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    She's 23 If I remember correctly :) She wears armour all of the time, Splint Armour at the moment. she doesn't actually have 'normal clothing'. She's from a large island up to the north-west of Eberron :) She doesn't know her name. She went by "kid", "girl", "her" and "orphan girl" though she...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    I like this a lot :) I do think she needs a hobby, I'll even put forward the idea of dancing because it'll really throw people off :) Yes, she'll be crap at it but I think Human does indeed have that concept of being a Minority and wants to distract herself from that :)

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    I believe her rank is "Human" and "Infantry" :) Orcs are never about promoting people :)

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    She's very much about Duty and fulfilling her Career as a Soldier. If she has work, she belongs. If she fights as Infantry should, she gets paid.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    Why is she an Ex Soldier? - Because the Orc Army won against the Dwarfs. With that, the Humans and Orcs continued to coexist on their island and "Human" was just out of the job as there wasn't anything to conquer. Why did she join the Orc Unit? - Her farther taught her to fend for herself...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    A Human fighter who just kept the name of "Human" because that is the name she is used to from fighting alongside the Orcs.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    "What does she put her life on the line repeatedly?" - It's kind of her Job. She has good armour, a good shield and she's a soldier by trade. "Does she feel guilty about hiding from danger at some point in her past, which led to the death of a mentor/loved one?" - Not really. She does however...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    Her flaw is "I am dogmatic in my thoughts and philosophy". It really just means that she acts a certain way and isn't likely to turn her allies in for commiting evil deeds . . . She's kind of a "yes man". She also has a slight leg injury so she has to roll twice on "not falling off of your horse...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    So. I sort of have a problem. My character is basically a set of Stats with a high AC, and I would like to make her more interesting. Other than having a background as being a 'Soldier' who served in an 'Orc Battalion', she is what you would call "the normal soldier" in that she's about 'Duty'...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you use Skeletons/Zombies in combat to make them more interesting.

    OMG :) I LOVE THIS STUFF :) First of all :) I have Autism so I say to you "Congrats" and "I hope it wouldn't of offended me" :) Doesn't matter though as everyone is somewhere on the Spectrum, it's just a case of "why" for the offensive tropes :) Second :) How did you get chickens to follow...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you use Skeletons/Zombies in combat to make them more interesting.

    Hemlock, I believe his views for monsters can be quite narrow . . . PCs and other NPC humanoids from standard races get items . . . Monsters have their stats. In his case, I don't think he'll allow Skeleton's or Zombie's to equip gear because of his "spawn and just use it" mentallity. As I have...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you use Skeletons/Zombies in combat to make them more interesting.

    My aim is to use them strategically because she is an intelligent character. That is all. In no way (discosoc) does my necromancer want to go crazy with a hoard of undead. She see's them as tools, not an army.

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you use Skeletons/Zombies in combat to make them more interesting.

    Hi. It has been a while. I play a Wizard/Necromancer called, Muffin. She's a Tiefling who was raised (yes, this is a pun) to continue the Necromancy Traditions of her familiy by becoming a Necromancer. Having been raised by a Necromancer, she knows a lot about the Undead (Specifically, the kind...

    Tabaxi Rogue?

    Hello :) For a while now, I have been playing a very tanky Human Fighter (who hasn't been knocked out yet) and a Slightly Tanky Tiefling Necromancer (Who I keep out of danger and manage to protect from the DM through circumstantial positioning) :) Now on my Todo's list is a Tabaxi Rogue who...

    Slaves/Peasents :)

    I might in the case of "my party is buggered anyways" :) If I use a certain type of undead raising, I could allow them to maintain what makes them "them" for the price of their eventual decay :)
