[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8642005, member: 87792"] I don't actually have them picked out in advance, in part because I can't cover all angles and enjoy the players surprising me. If a player has an idea in mind then it's always a possibility but it doesn't always happen. Some of the ones that spring to mind have been: [LIST] [*]Just continuing to fight and ignore the voice is either a barbarian or a fighter (depending on how they fight) [*]Telling the demon in no uncertain terms "No" is the Paladin choice [*]Calling on a god is of course clerical [*]Someone who was angling for bard decided to try to provoke the demon - and had a psychic entity slammed into them, ending up as an Aberrant Mind sorcerer (which they enjoyed) [*]Hiding is either a ranger or a rogue depending on how, why, and the rest of what they did. (I suppose monk is a possibility but hasn't happened yet). [/LIST] As for two players winding up with the same class, it's unlikely. I'd be far more likely to use "paired classes" like fighter and barbarian or rogue and ranger. But it's whatever feels right in the moment. Edit: And the only setup for another warlock subclass is if the warlock tries later to find a new patron; it hasn't happened yet but that's both the easiest and safest route out of a pact (not that it's either easy or safe).
