[QUOTE="Arilyn, post: 8423720, member: 6816042"] I just joined a group as a player. One of the players is brand new to RPGs and he is so excited. He made a Firbolg druid (planning on moon). The other players have very little experience with 5e. We have a half elf bard and human warlock with fathomless patron. My character strolled into my head and announced that she's a human storm herald barbarian. "But I don't really like barbarians or the storm herald," I said. She just stood there tapping her foot, and no other ideas came to mind so I made her. She's an alternate human, which allowed me to take the magic casting feat at 1st level. I chose stormy/water spells to up the storm flavour. We are going through Ghosts of Saltmarsh. My barbarian has the shipwright background, and had been struck by lightning during a divine storm created by the warlock's patron. In story terms this is the reason for her heightened strength and magic. As an aside. The new player said he'd been watching lots of streamed games. "Ah, critical Role," we said sagely. His response, "I don't know what that is." 😂 [/QUOTE]
