[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2514121, member: 22622"] I got to completely disagree with you. I've dm'd a ton of newbies and it really helps them understand the game if they create their own characters but they do it with the dm there and helping them. When you don't let them creat their own character, you rob them of the idenity of the character. Now, what doesnt work if you give them 30 minutes to run through everything and expect them to make a character in the short amount of time a normal person would, that may be where your problems hail. With newbies its best to have a whole session just for character creation and dm questions. I do this with new and old players just so that they are playing a character they enjoy. When you force players to have particular characters you steal the fun of d an d, playing a character you enjoy. Now, as for the question, I would say any non magic class is good for a newbie. This is assuming starting at 1st level. Let the game move slow for a bit allowing the character to get to the mechanics before getting "another" power they have to learn. [/QUOTE]
