[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6504000, member: 67338"] well to give you some idea, 3 of the 5 of them had written backgrounds with some stuff basicly drawn up already "X class/race this sub class" but only 3 of us own PHBs... and I printed out some landscape character sheets last week and handed them out, we passed the books around for about 45mins talking idea's.... ((((Warning this is not a edition war thread))))) we talked a lot about what roles they would all play using 4e terminology for combat and TV tropoes 5 man band for social and rp roles... Our Warlock wants to be a Sherlock holmes type and a defender in combat, Our Eldritch knight sees himself as a big brute striker based on BA barakis... Our 2 rogues are funny both are facemen but the bard/assassin see himself as a striker and a leader, and the arcane trickster meant to just be support and not be combat at all (but has 2nd best AC and HP, and with 3d6 sneak attack does good damage) the Wizard/Druid sees her self as the loner/crazy hero (since we got face and BA she say's she's Murdock) and a controller... (((((Warning over,))))) they took the basic gear from there class and background, then rolled 1d10x25gp then added the base 500 and they almost all ended up with a lot of gold, I did let then buy some magic gear: I came up with it mostly on the fly, but here is what I let them buy: so far everyone emailed me they are exceted to start and I am working on some last min world stuff...
