[QUOTE="ElterAgo, post: 8830209, member: 6972046"] Will be starting a new campaign with a new gaming group. Don’t know what campaign we will be running. I’m pretty sure one of the players is going to run a straight wizard. Don’t think anyone else has decided. I have played a Fighter with the Eldritch Knight subclass. Wasn’t terribly impressed. Very few spells and very low level by the time you get them. Could bump you up a bit for one boss fight, but that was about it. Played a single class warlock. I loved that. I really like the spell system they have for that class. Even though the 2 spells for short rest is painful, it was 2 spells from a large list at max level. Definitely worth it for me. Currently playing a rogue / bard. The bard levels are mostly for a few spells, back story, and roleplay reasons. He’s mostly going to be scout and a Stabbity-Mc’Stabberson rogue. So now I’m looking for something new. Only a few conditions. 1) Not wizard since someone else is going to play that. 2) Must have some magic or weird abilities. I just can’t be in a game with piles-o-magic and play a guy that just swings and axe and has nothing else to do. I just can’t. He’s got to have some sort of powers. 3) Very different play style from the other 3 characters I’ve already done. 4) Not something that is going to make my turn take four times as long as everyone else. I don’t want to hog the table. So I don’t know; a barbarian with a pole arm that hits people all over the field of battle, can a monk use his special abilities if he’s also a druid in the shape of a bear, an archer that shoots spells along with his arrows, etc… What ideas do you have for me to look over? What weird fun class /ability combinations have you tried over the years and had fun with. I will have no problem coming up with a personality and backstory for the character. But I don’t have yet have a lot of experience with building characters in the 5E system. [/QUOTE]
