[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 6357559, member: 27252"] Well, this is exercise into ascertaining the flexibility of 5e D&D primarily (sorry should have said that) to handle these things. So, no ‘NPC’ only and no ‘Warlord’ Classes will do. For me, a lot of the non-magical, non-warrior characters would have to be covered by the Rogue Class - albeit specialised more for court intrigue.
