Message: <blockquote data-quote="painted_klown" data-source="post: 6642578" data-attributes="member: 6785485">Thank you all for the thoughts, opinions, and votes. Being that the Bard has clearly won, I decided to roll up a Bard, that will go into Lore Bard college at level 3. I have rolled up many characters for 5E, but I have all of them digitally (aside from ones I helped players roll), so I took my time and really thought about the character as I rolled him up. By the time I was finished with him, I felt like I had an emotional investment in the character. The group I have been running are using pre-cons from the starter box, and I'm not so sure they feel any real connection to their characters. For my next group, i am going to insist they all roll their own characters before we begin. I decided to make him a half-Elf Bard with a rapier as a weapon, and studded leather + shield. Picking cantrips & spells took me a while, and I'm still not 100% sure I made the "best" decisions. For cantrips, I picked Mage Hand and True Strike. For 1st level spells, I picked Cure Wounds, Detect Magic, Identify, and Thunderwave.I then took some index cards and copied these spells word for word from the PHB, so I (if I ever get to play, instead of DM) or another player would have a ready-to-go player. I had a lot of fun rolling him up, but it was EXTREMELY time consuming to actually have to copy a LOT of text from the PHB vs. just doing a copy/paste from the PDF. Oh well, it was worth it, and I look forward to seeing him in action!</blockquote>
