[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 9254127, member: 7028579"] I’m trying to get my players to create their next characters in ignorance of class abilities. My players will be starting their 3rd characters ever, so they’re not super informed on all the available options, which is good for a start. I’m trying to get them to imagine what their character looks like, how they fight, what sort of weapons they use, what spells they might cast, how they interact with the world, what they’re good at, and all that before we figure out class or background. But, they ask, well, what can a warlock do. And, it doesn’t matter, what do you want to do, isn’t helpful to them. Whatever the heck you want is available is too much for them. So I want to come up with choices for them to help them build characters true to their own imaginations and desires, and once that’s done, we’ll figure out what class/mulriclass/subclass/rules will make that happen with me being a super flex DM who will bend stuff to make their vision a reality. I have players who are mostly comfortable being creative inside boundaries. So I’m looking for decision tree ideas that instead of reducing, expand, or prompts, or EASY questions that draw out their creativity to build something unique. Ideas? [/QUOTE]
