[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7474448, member: 284"] It really depends on what inspires me. Sometimes I pick a particular weapon then try to think of combinations of class/race/feats that make it more effective (example: Net. Result: Human War Domain Cleric with Sharpshooter that throws a net, then uses a bonus action to throw a dart with -5 att/+10 dam immediately thereafter, channeling divinity for a +10 to hit if needed. Very effective at low levels, still seeing how it plays out at mid-to-high levels). Other times I think a particular spell for feat is interesting and think of ways to maximize it. (example: Armor of Agathys. Result: Goliath Fighter 1/Warlock X with Heavy Armor Master and a poor sense of personal safety.) Other times it's a race that has an interesting ability (Example: Deep Gnome Abjuration Wizard with the racial feat that lets them cast Misdirection at will so they can recharge their Arcane Ward for free.) Or an interesting concept that I want to play with. (Example: Dice manipulator. Result: Halfling Divination Wizard 2/Wild Mage 6+ with the Lucky feat. Levels in Lore Bard optional). Or we are putting together a group to play through a hardcover adventure and I want to make sure all the roles are covered. That has resulted in a Yuan-Ti Lore Bard as the group healer and crowd control specialist. [/QUOTE]
