[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6768019, member: 11146"] Can't sleep. Pause, wait! No one feel pressured to play cleric--and I MEAN this--unless that's the class that [b]truly calls to you, the one that gets all your best creative juices going.[/b] You guys will need healing, but there are work-arounds to not having a healer that I can supply. There's also stuff like short and long rests (though you won't be able to rely on those on a consistent basis), the magic initiate feat, multiclassing, the Medicine skill, healing kits, and oddments of items the DM supplies along the way. Don't mistake me; no healer will be a party composition choice that I'll hold the group's feet to the fire on, but the adventure's still playable without one. There are. Probably not as many as I was hoping for, but they're in there and they're pretty good. The two paragraphs force you to distill. They're a useful exercise in strengthening the clarity of your character concept. And in making your writing better! (In case it's not clear, I meant that as a generalized you and not the specific you.) The short length also helps the audience actually read the damned things and not skim. What? Don't laugh, I'm balls-to-the-wall serious. :D Except no balls here, so...yeah...moving along. BOOM, BABY! Good. I was hoping someone would pony up with an evil alignment. It'll raise all kinds of eggs-cellent (ripping off loki here) rp opportunities for everyone. The good kind. Not the murderhobo kind. Still, don't let my excitement over the alignment pressure you into doing this character. Alignment's portable; if it works here, it can work for a morally gray orc fighter just as well. Neat. That'll be fun! Also, the skull-bashing warhammer rocks. Old school. [/QUOTE]
