S'got J-Law, Olivia Munn and "Sansa Stark". I'm sold on that alone. #NoShame

I miss: Multi-classing. I'm a multi-classing fiend from 1e days. I far prefer 2e's "all your goodies now but take twice as long to level" m/c style. FR Specialty priests. Sure, the Clerics in 5e are great, but being a Specialty Priest of [X] meant something. The soft-cover Handbooks...

Feel free to use my character. I expect the sisters might come as as a package but that's up to Shayuri. :)

I bought into the Beta way back when. It's great, but like all Diablo games/clones, you gotta like grinding to fully enjoy it. The most interesting facet to me is the FF7 "materia"-like orbs that you can equip which gives your character its abilities. They are, in turn, tied to a tri-stat...

I'd say make two of each of the 'simplest' characters to choose from: Fighter (sword/board Champion and greatweapon, uh... not-Wizard-one), Rogue (Thief/Archer and Assassin), Cleric (Life and Light), and maybe a Sorcerer (Dragon) and a Warlock (... dealer's choice; your player's play-style will...

For me, I adore how Ritual Casting works. Having the ability (and the funds) to make campaign (narrative)-changing effects was far more interesting than how much damage I could do. That, and Traveller's Insight shenanigans - +1 Insight for every language your know. Maximize at your leisure.

It seems like the plan itself is fairly well-reasoned, but as others point out, it might not be something a LE character might consider... UNLESS... You said you had dealings with the 'lowbie' kingdom. Any chance you'd steal that gold and then offer it BACK to the lowbie king (melted down into...

From the creator of Eberron himself: http://keith-baker.com/category/gaming/eberron-faq/ Keith responds to someone asking about Old One Warlocks being tied to the Quori: "Enemy of Higher Power. Twist the concept of the Warlock. The PC isn’t a SERVANT of il-Lashtavar. Instead, the Warlock has...

Starscream. Your baby red dragon becomes Starscream - a sniveling toady but cunning and effective in his own right, always plotting to take the group leader's place the moment s/he shows weakness. So confident is the dragon that he reminds the players about it at every other turn. A Wyrmling...

IMXP, Stealth missions are terrible for players (because they can balloon out of control in an instant, like Hussar said) and DMs alike (because players will never know or prepare for every single detail that the DM expects them to). As a player in my home group, we've communicated to our DM...

Man, the joys I recall as a lad getting his first D&D Ring of Invisibility... Drove my DM nuts. ^_^

Your stat allocation is below the minimum recommended "amount"; you likely won't last long no matter what you pick. I'd say for survivability, your best best is actually Nature Cleric (since Druid's off the table). Nature Cleric can make decent work with the Shillelagh cantrip (turning every...

Well, FWIW, 5e is far more forgiving with regard to player disparity. One way to ensure that everyone's on an even field is to use Point Buy for stats (versus random rolls). Your min-maxers will min-max and the new players will understand "my highest stats go to what makes my character work"...

Having an Oath of Vengeance implies that you are trying to right some sort of great wrong and that you will not stop at anything until you achieve your goal (The Dark Knight/Batman persona). Have you figured out what that is and what you're doing to combat it? Though it's no longer part of the...

I can't think of anything off-hand, but if you have access to the Character Builder (or the PHB 3), you'll probably want to check out some Skill Powers.

If this were a 3.5 Bard, I would generally agree that your Bard player is already trying to play with one foot hacked off. I felt that the 3.5 Bard's greatest weakness was its jack-of-all-tradesness was under-shadowed by the fact that feats could make any class into a generalist and also...

Pardon for stepping into the line of fire, but a couple of thoughts hit me as I read the exchange between Hussar and Raunalyn ... In Hussar's case, yeah, I can see how every attempt to be cool, sneaky ninjas resulting in "and now you fight everything" is a source of frustration. I get that he...

IMO, the 5e bard is a great throwback to the 2e Bard, my all-time favorite class. 2e Bard: ability to select weapon proficiency from all weapons (but only 'trained' in two at first level), armor up to chain mail, a handful of rogue abilities and up to 6th-level wizard spells (but suffered a...

For your first few games, I would even consider writing the player's aspects on stand-up cards (you know, like, folding a card in half like a tent... are they even called tent cards?) and putting them in front of the players so that both you and they always have them for quick reference.

And you might as well be Drow. They're already creatures of the night with some vampire-like special effects built in.
