[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7406387, member: 6689161"] OK...this is what I had in mind....(bear with me, I know this sounds bizarre)... I was thinking of playing a lawful neutral hobgoblin warlock with the celestial patron. He was a very honorable duty bound and brave standard bearer in a hobgoblin legion. He was starting to come into conflict with others due to his focus on honor and honesty which was occasionally seen as an excuse for softness and mercy. I have not figured out HOW this happens but an Angel decides that he needs a herald. The herald needs to be militant, fierce, brave and honest. Somehow the hobgoblin is choses against all odds. He will be a tome pact warlock so that he can do rituals that help him get his messages across (e.g. comprehend languages and so forth). He will use a war horn when battle begins or he announces his patron. I will take thaumaturgy to make the ground shake! That sounds sort of angel-like. He has proficiency in two martial weapons so will use a greatsword with greenflame blade. (I was debating about multiclassing from fighter or paladin or cleric for that sweet armor/spell slots). Maybe to heck with it. Crap AC would be a challenge). Mask of many faces would help him appear fairer in human, elven or other places... Is he doomed? I dunno! DnD is exercise in survival! He might die! Let the gods (dice) decide! [/QUOTE]
