[QUOTE="Jessica, post: 6792992, member: 6796107"] Sorry everyone for not responding back sooner. I had spotty internet for a while and have been packing up to go back to East Lansing from the middle-of-nowhere, Michigan. So far I'm playing a Drow Lore Bard, but I might still experiment and change it up. I might consider something more aggressive like Paladin or Valor Bard, but I might consider going Human just for Magic Initiate so I can have melee cantrips. I just worry that half-casters don't have enough options to keep me interested. We were doing OotA as our campaign, but I didn't really use either the SCAG or the EE PC for my character so I just didn't bother assigning a season to my character. That sounds incredibly MAD though needing Wis, Con, and Cha. Also I tend to stay away from multiclassing(with some exceptions) because it seems to require so long to get stuff working in a coherent way where as most single class "builds" start hitting their stride between level 3 and 5. IIRC they get like 2 summoning spells and don't they rely on the DM entirely to decide what creature they get? At least the Druid gets to narrow it down to a certain CR/number of creatures. Also I think a big part of it is that I tend to have a negative opinion of religion IRL and playing a religion-based character just... I don't like it. I wouldn't even look at the Paladin if they didn't change deities to oaths. I'd play the hell out of a Favored Soul though. Having a parent or grandparent or whoever that got their sex on with a deity is leaps and bounds better than being some deity's yes-man. [/QUOTE]
