[QUOTE="JesterPoet, post: 2689751, member: 138"] I've just started running The Banewarrens online for a group of friends spread out across the country. One player is pretty new to D&D, and the rest are pretty experienced. The new player created a bard, but it's not working out tremendously well for him. He does not have very many opporutinutes to really use the bards skill set and he has quite a bit of downtime for this type of dungeon crawl. The bard seemed like a really good choice at first, as he was looking forward to roleplaying, but since there is so much combat in the banewarrens, he spends a lot of time just inspiring courage, which isn't tremendously interesting, while everyone else is fighting. So we've started thinking about him creating a new character. He has only ever played a rogue type, but he's also very interested in having a character with noble ambitions. He'd love to have a character with valorous ambitions who can take charge of the group and lead them into battle some of the time. Since he is interested in roleplaying, it's also good to try to find something that allows for that. There's plenty of room in the party for a face man, but it'd be nice if he's useful for more than that. The characters are 6th level. Not including his bard, there is a fighter/mage (primarily fighter), a cleric, and a druid, as well as an NPC rogue (4th level) who could certainly perish. We've discussed the possibility of a rogue/ranger, or a paladin. Core stuff would be best, though I could see my way to allowing WoTC PrCs if something's really worth it. Any recommendations you can give would be appreciated. The player will be watching this thread as well, and will be glad to answer other questions, I'm sure. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
