[QUOTE="Gorck, post: 9758702, member: 7037537"] Thanks guys, this has been very helpful. We still haven't played yet because we've been beset upon by that most fearsome enemy in all of D&D: scheduling. So far we've just been texting back and forth and I sent her a pic of the Classes chart on page 45 of the 2014 PHB (we're going to play 2024, but I thought the Classes list on page 49 of that PHB would confuse her too much with all the talk of choosing subclasses). She's leaning towards either Bard or Cleric, so I think I'll try to nudge her toward the latter since it's less complicated for a new player. I think I'll leave the choice to make a character or play a pre-generated one up to her, since the bulk of her initial hesitancy was that she didn't know how to play. In talking with her over her lifetime so far, I have noticed she tends to get easily overwhelmed, so I'm looking to ease her into playing the best I can without taking away choices she's comfortable making.
