Hello all!
Another Graybeard here )))
I though a bit about playing a Bard for this game...
I remember one guy actually did it, in our group, and became a Bard.
Kudos to him.
For me, the horrible part - besides the wild XP and stuff -, was that when you switch classes, and go from Fighter 5+ or whatever, to Thief, you actually play a 1st level Thief (!!!) in EVERYTHING (except that you keep your HP).
So here you are, in a group of levels 5 to 9, as level 1 Thief.
Wonderful group balance )))
Anyhow, I toyed with a couple ideas (Bard being one of them), but what I am working on now, and would go for as my first choice, is Monk.
I am totally open to changing this, though, and doing whatever can best fit the party balance.
But, I'll go with Monk for the time being.
If you go with Cleric, Azad, what God and/or Alignement would you be aiming for?
We could maybe make both our characters somehow linked if you'd be up for that.
And maybe with others (like Sir Cal, if he is a Paladin)?
My idea was a Human Monk.
A relatively pure Flan (as racial origin), born in Geoff, and who has mainly lived there.
I was go going for LG alignement (but can change to LN if better for the group dynamics - for example, it could be Boccob, like you, Herodian, but I am not sure that would work).
I was imagining him to be a follower of Allitur (LG god)--

--since it states that "in Flan culture, Allitur's name is invoked during trials, diplomatic meetings and other official events. His clergy serve as judges, legal counsel, scribe laws and arbitrate disputes. They have a martial bent because of their role as enactors of punishments for criminals and oath-breakers", so I thought that would fit well for the mission and my idea of a very Law-abiding and enforcing monk etc..
But I could go with Pelor or St. Cuthbert (who is either LG or LN, he was LG in first edition).
I am open to ideas, suggestions and such to fit the group, and have common backgrounds or such.
