So, I'm gonna be playing D&D online with some of my TF2 clanmates soon. It should be great fun! I've missed gaming. A lot. This is largely going to end up being a nerdy braindump post, so that's your warning to turn back now if D&D isn't so much your thing.
So, we've got a party of four so far (counting me), though we've only decided a couple days ago we were going to play and so we're waiting to hear from more people first on interest. I'm pretty much going to fulfill whatever role(s) are left over. Party so far:
- Human Ranger (likely mounted archer - he saw camel on the animal companions list and really liked the thought)
- Human Monk (wants to tank, my inner min/maxer is really skeptical of this choice, but eh. The DM is the one who suggested Monk to him for that role, so i'm guessing our encounters aren't going to be too horrible. =P)
- Elf Cleric (was going to multiclass Wizard, until I talked with him a bit and learned he mostly just wanted to be blast-y and heal-y and I told him that Clerics get some decent blasting too, inasmuch as blast-y is decent at all)
So, it looks like it's shaping up for me to be the trapmonkey, the arcane caster, or both. FWIW, the starting level's not known exactly yet, but will probably be somewhere around 3-5. My possible thoughts, depending on what role(s) I need to fill (I'm gonna include race/PrC thoughts where I have any yet - dunno if we'll get far enough for PrCs but having one as a goal will help shape the build a little anyway, so it's not a bad idea):
( Build Possibilities )
Any thoughts? (Stats will likely be rolled, ah well, but I actually got a pretty decent array just messing around with the dice roller when we were playing with the software we'll be using: 17, 16, 14, 14, 11, 7. I may just ask to keep that depending on what I go with. For what it's worth, it's 4d6 drop lowest, roll 7 times and drop lowest of those.)
