Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blue" data-source="post: 8992677" data-attributes="member: 20564">I'm playing in a long running Theros campaign where we all just managed to win our way back from the land of the dead.  The DM has said that going through the portal we all come back as our idealized versions of ourselves and we can change race, class, whatever.  As this is Theros, we're all agents of our gods, and most of us have been lent the artifact weapons of our gods to do a job the gods cannot and stop an unraveling of creation, so that I see as a set point.I've been playing Spyros "Scrufflechin", a personable musical satyr archer rogue who worships Nylea, goddess of the hunt.  I've been unsatisfied with him for a while, mostly because the other artifact weapons add +2d10 or +3d10 to each attack and my sneak attack isn't a big deal.  (We also had a newcomer player with an artificer with same/better rogue skill than me, but he's going to be changing over to a melee battlemaster.)We've just hit 8th level, and I'm looking for suggestions for classes and subclasses that can keep alive the foundational nature of the character, but might be more fun.Points towards his "idealized version".<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Needs to take advantage of a +3 Bow in order to keep "on-level" with the others.  (Side note, it is actually an artifact so you can't make it a Warlock's Blade Pact weapon - I looked that up.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Worships Nylea, goddess of the hunt.  Maybe Druid?  Stars could have some archery things, but nothing druid really synergies with bow use.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Satyr - I don't really see this changing, but we use Tasha's for ability scores so that's not much of a limitation.  For a really good reason a warforged looking like a Satyr could work, as we have an Advilwrought in the party Spyros really looks up to.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stealth expert.  Nature expert.  "Hunter" - Could be ranger.  But would need to be an archer ranger build that address the "all I do in combat is damage, and others do that better".  And no, the artifact bow will not magically become a hand crossbow. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Very curious. Perception.  Investigation.  Thieves tools to see "what's in there".  (Note that stealing isn't on the list - he's the least greedy and least kleptomaniac rogue ever.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Personable, plays music and dances, makes friends everywhere - suggests Bard.  But what subclass?  Can't be glamour as I played a glamour bard with this group already a few years back.  A party face wouldn't be bad though.  And expertise would be helpful to stay the skill monkey.</li> </ul>We leveled up so we'll be 8th, so some limited multiclassing can work like 5/3.  I don't mind having some levels of rogue to satisfy points of the idealized version above.  Point buy, so need to control MAD.The rest of the party, as far as I know after they transform:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ember, Anvilwrought Human Forge Cleric (planning to stay)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Psarus, elder Triton Paladin (missed the session, don't know if will change, likely to stay)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Acastus, Human Wizard chef (likely will stay as is)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Zeno, Human (??) Melee Battlemaster (was Human Artificer)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Zander, Minotaur Barbarian (long term absence due to work)</li> </ul>What funky ideas do you have that keeps to his idea of himself - though some bending is allowed.</blockquote>
