D&D 5E (2014) Help playtest my fantasy stat draft!

Looks great! Stats look good, and I'm really enjoying the fleshed out backstories.

I also think that Whisper and Demne would awesome in the same party. Not necessarily all rosebuds and sunshine, but a lot of fun to RP and bounce off each other.

Still noodling around with how to express these abilities. One question- would you allow firearms (DMG), and would you allow improved pact blade to include firearms?

Trying to rule in or out a few options.

There's the path well-trod laying before us. Over there, just visible through the trees, is the path less taken. Then, much further away, there's wherever the hell Snarf is.

I support any warlock option that isn't focused around making Eldritch Blast better than it already is.

Sounds like a cool concept, go for it.

Didn't want to know your rare magic item first?

Because I just rolled it, and it's pretty good.

Sure, I can move things around if it changes my mind

I am not going to go through all the work of making this character I will never play (at least in this form), but here is the basic idea

Sampson Starkweather *
Ranger 1 / Wizard 3 (transmuter) Background: Folk Hero
HD: 1d10 + 3d6 + 4 HPs: 26

STR: 14 (+2) DEX 14 (+2) CON 13 (+1) INT: 16 (+3) WIS: 14 (+2) CHA 15 (+2)

Skill Proficiencies: Animal Handling, Insight, Nature, Perception, Survival
Tool Proficiencies: Brewer's Tools, Vehicle (land)
Languages: Common, Elvish, Primordial
Background Feature: Rustic Hospitality
Favored Enemy: Beasts
Feats: Mobile

I see Sampson as kind of a Gandalf type, spending time among the little folk and helping out against wild beasts and threats to their agrarian society (thus beasts are his favored enemy). I see him also running a still in the woods (one of his flaws is his tendency to spend downtime deep in the jug).

I see him having long steel gray hair and a beard. He is tall and in his 40s.

* In 2013 I was at a poetry reading at a bookstore and this guy comes up to read some of his work and introduces himself as "Samson Starkweather" and I immediately turned to my wife and said, "My next D&D character is gonna be named Samson Starkweather." I added the "P" afterwards. I was playing in a game at the time, so figured I'd have to wait to play him, but I didn't realize it'd be this long.

It’s a “flame tongue” scimitar.

Kudos for sticking with the Ranger/Wizard. Nice concept, and the name is a perfect fit.

At least Sampson has a beard. Whisper approves.
