[QUOTE="Jessica, post: 6805046, member: 6796107"] I made a post a few weeks ago asking for advice on making a character to play with my best friend/room mate in AL that would help her character shine. Eventually I realized that a 90 minute one-way commute to AL every week was not happening for her(I'm already at that LGS when 6pm rolls around) so I had to give up on doing AL with her(although I offered to DM 4e for her if we can get a few more people around for a physical game in Lansing). Today I finally got to play an AL game at the new area we moved to and here is our party make up: DEX/WIS Half Elf archery Hunter Ranger DEX/CHA Half Elf gish blade pact Great Old One Warlock DEX/CHA Half Elf gish blade pact Great Old One Warlock DEX/CHA Human gish-ish Lore Bard You read that right. We have two Half Elf Warlocks with the exact same pact and exact same patron type. I feel too similar for comfort to a lot of the other characters in our group with our three Dex/Cha gishes who have a focus on control/utility spells.
