[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8269892, member: 5889"] So I have a possible opportunity to play in a game (I'm normally the DM). I have had the idea of making 'Manic' Jim Rannic, and 80s action hero come to life in dnd. So off the cuff I am thinking a Rogue with crossbow expert dual wielding crossbows (because guns akimbo is just plain cool). I was pondering the scout subclass, maybe he is an ex-Green Beret or something, scout doesn't give me a whole lot but its got a few goodies and I don't see any other rogue subclass that really does the job. Or I could go maybe ranger or fighter. So I wanted to poll the audience. Basically this guy is a larger than life action star. Low int and wis, decent charisma, with a decent str, dex, and con (aka no physical weaknesses). This is not your typical dnd specialty character, I am going for a more well rounded character that scares bad guys, kicks in the door, walks slowly away from explosions, all the good stuff. Oh an obviously a little unhinged, you don't get the nickname "Manic" for nothing:) If anyone has any thoughts on the best way to make such a character I'm all ears. Level wise we are actually starting pretty high, I think 9th level, so lets use that as the baseline. [/QUOTE]
