    Please Help a 1st-timer Build a Grappler for AL

    Yeah, I'm pretty set on Gnome Barbarian/Druid/Rogue anyways. I'll likely only be able to get two of the feats I mentioned in my last post.

    I still had a couple of questions: I saw a background somewhere that allowed the player to lead a second life; could someone link that for me? As a gnome, I think I'll be able to pick 2 feats on my way to 15. I want Alert, Mobile, and Mage Slayer. Thoughts?

    Sorry for the necromancy, but I had to divert my attention to finals. I really wanted the improved disarm and extra attacks from Fighter, and the movement/stunning/flurry of a Monk would be nice, but I think it would be fun to play a Forest Gnome Barbarian/Druid/Rogue. I figure that I could...

    My priorities are nonlethal first, followed by utility. Druid seems to have utility for days with their fluid spell list, but Wildshape does not seem ideal for non-lethal (and it's up to the DM if it will even work or not). Correct me if I'm wrong, but Monk seems to be where its at for...

    Also, how do you not take damage from the spike growth as you drag someone through it? Are you just supposed to move along the edge of the adjacent squares? That seems kind of limiting. . .

    That's a pro-tip right there! You're convincing me, zaratan, and I've got a background brewing. I've got a few more questions: - When should I dip into Rogue? - It seems like I'll want to use my first API for the Warcaster feat. Is that a fair assessment? - Any other feats that are must...

    Thank you, zaratan. That's far more parseable. So it seems like you're suggesting rogue 2/warlock 1/druid x? Maybe a splash of monk too? xp seems like it will be at a premium, so when should I dip? I read that one can declare melee damage as nonleathal when dropping an enemy to 0. Requiring...

    I'm sorry zaratan, but I'm a bit of a newb. I don't have the books handy to look up all those spells' or feats' specifics; I think you may be overestimating my grasp of the system. Also, I like the idea of a druid grappler (I main'd a druid in WoW for a while ~_~) , but I don't know who will...

    The ALPGv4 states that "races or other options that are mentioned but whose rules are found in another source (for example, aasimar and genasi) do not become legal without other campaign documentation unless that source is also legal for your character's story origin." So that means I'd have to...

    I'm an avid nerd and am no stranger to D&D, but I've never actually played it. To clarify, I've "unofficially" played some tabletop RPGs before (my friends and I played in school w/o dice, and based only off the knowledge we gleaned from our parents' books). The museum I work at had an event...
