I casually play with a larger group, although we only use published material (no unearthed arcana etc) we do start with pretty high stats (usually 3 stats 14 or above, 2 stats between 10-14, and 1 less than 10) with the only rule being that you have to create your character first. Plus we get 1 free feat at lvl 1. Our last two campaigns ended at level 11 then 14
So, for my next character I am starting as a gnome war wizard who was pretty much the school bully, beat everyone up that made fun of him because of his poor magic skills. After lvl 2 switching to 7 lvls ek fighter (bring trained by other party members) I know this is not the optimal way to start but it goes with the character better, more or less comedic relief by causing problems by verbally and physically provoking things bigger than he is. "I have a great group and already received permission to create a character that will get into some trouble"
My problem is that having a large party, we already have a theif/warlock, cleric/ranger, druid, barbarian, , and sorcerer covering almost everything we need. So I don't know where I want to go after level 9. I don't want to continue in fighter because with war wizard indomitable is less worth while and I'm not interested in the third attack. Continuing in wizard doesn't seem worth it because I'll be in melee quite often, although more sheild slots sounds tempting
Any thoughts?
Also, any suggestion for a name?
