[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 6952334, member: 6855204"] This is for DND 5e. So, I'm a little weird. I love weird characters to role play. I also love multi classing. I can't help it. One thing I've been thinking of lately is using a multi class to play a character who pretends to be another class. Right now, I'm thinking of a Fighter/Warlock who pretends to be a Paladin. I haven't picked a race yet, and that's something I wanted help with, but I want his race to be one of the races most people are prejudice against. He'll be starting at level 8 in the campaign he'll be used in. He starts off as a fighter. At some point, he became disillusioned, because he is always prejudiced against, and always looked down upon. Like Drizzt Do'Urdan, he is always distrusted for his race. He wants nothing more than to be like the Paladins, who are so majestic and always seemed to be everything a hero was supposed to be. He trained as a fighter, but never could figure out how to make the leap into Paladin. Enter the Patron. Whoever the Patron is (more help here, as to which patron to pick), he offers this fighter power. And most importantly, it offers him the ability to disguise himself...at will. So, this build would heavily use the Mask of Many Faces, and later (if he gets there), Mask of Myriad Forms. I would actually not want anyone else in the group to know he's not actually a Paladin. He disguises himself as a handsome, blonde haired and blue eyed human, wearing heavy armor and carrying a Greatsword. In his mind, the perfect Paladin. But he's not a paladin. He's a Fighter/Warlock. And he's not human. He's a whatever. Like Gonzo. So my question is, what do you suggest for the build? I'm thinking Fighter 3/Warlock 5. He'd likely need Pact of the Blade, to get two attacks, because Paladin get two attacks. I'm thinking, in order to keep the illusion, to take a Feat to help simulate the "lay on hands", such as Magic Initiate, taking Cure Wounds as my one spell, which I could use at higher Warlock Spell Slots (Per DM approval). Or I could take the healer feat, and just use healing kits, but work it out with the DM that I use one of those when I use my "lay on hands" feature. It doesn't really work in game, cause they'd see me using a kit, but the DM could hand wave that? I could explain away having Action Surge by saying he has levels in Fighter, it's the Warlock that I don't want anyone to know about. That means spells would need to be more buff types. So, Race, Patron, Invocations besides Many Faces and Thirsting Blade? He'd have one, maybe two more depending on the build. [/QUOTE]
