[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 5574790, member: 27897"] MMDV because, out of 5 characters, mine would likely be the only one that had a background relating to some form of entertainment. For example I made up two complementary characters, for our last-lived campaign; Changeling brothers who had been separated during a Drow raid on their family's camp. One was rescued by the Eladrin, to become a 'pet' of the Summer Court; a Bard with Warlord multi-class. The other was taken as a toy, by the Drow, then eventually escaped after obtaining enough magical knowledge to escape his role as jester; a Warlock, with Bard multi-class. I would suspect that very few characters, in a given group, would tend to have some sort of musical background. One or two, at most, in a group of 5. It would be an opportunity for them to shine, when the generally more physical characters usually tend to more. [/QUOTE]
