Mike, how about we team up? You be the tinker... maybe a gnome or an elf, and probably a wizard or a rogue depending on how you imagine it. If you go wizard (artificer), you can be all about magical devices, clockwork objects, maybe eventually weapons and armor. If you go for a thief, you'll be picking locks, disarming traps, etc.

I'll make a dwarven priest of the forge god, and I'll bang out all the big stuff and beat people with hammers, plus cover the healing. Maybe we tool around together fixing what's broken, or maybe we're trying to combine our arts to craft magic items eventually.

It's the classic big guy little guy combo... Han and Chewie, Inigo Montoya and Fezzik, Rocket and Groot, etc. What do you think?

I like the teaming up idea Nate! Tinkering elf sounds good, a MacGiver type. We could build tools, weapons and machines.

Cool, let's slow our roll in case someone else has their heart set on something specific... otherwise I'll read up on those builds.

Mike you can be a gnome and they get the tinker racial bonus and then maybe an artcifer who uses magic to creat things...

Sounds good to me!

Artificer sounds right up your alley... you cast spells like a wizard, but there's no spell books or hocus pocus... to an observer, you're building and using little widgets with spell-like effects.

Battle smith artificer, weapons and construction. I’m in, how do I create the character and what resources do I need.

Go to d&d beyond and login to use the character builder. I use 4d6 drop the lowest die to roll stats... It is a simple and explanatory character builder...

Are Wade and Darrell here too?

I am getting Wade and Erich up to speed. Erich just created his account his Username is Rocksteady

I, here now, and if I had my choice I’d be a wizard, magic using type.

OKay I think Erich has been added. I think Mike had claimed a wizard and Nate claimed a Priest but I am not objecting to anybodies choice of class. We are expecting one more. D&D beyond has a great character builder and I will need a PDF and have you all choose an appropriate avatar picture.

I'm in!

I dont want to box anyone out of the cleric of their hopes and dreams. The one I'm imagining can double as a frontline fighter, but I'm happy to yield that role or the healer role to someone else. If Wade wants to play a wizard, I think the party can sustain two arcane casters as long as we address all the battlefield roles.

Glad to see this group coming together!

Does everyone have an idea of what they want to create and how to create their character?

In reply to Demon Lord (msg # 26):

i am in

Under character details can you please select a portrait for your character as well I need to make a token out of it.

Okay so we have silvery stone a rock gnome warlock. Sounds like we are going to have a lot of magic users. Which is fine by me but we will need a fighter I think. We have some one who is willing to be a priest.

I can change and be a paladin for defense.

Okay so it sounds like we have two magic users a Paladin and a Priest. does anybody else want to be anything specific?

I don't mind taking on a fighter role. I noticed it looked magic heavy when Mike filled us in.

A Aarakocra fighter might be fun.

It sounds like we have two magic users a paladin a priest and two fighters...

Aarakocra Ranger? Seems like the race and class would work well together.

Sounds workable... my cleric will be pretty tanky and work up close. Maybe the artificer can cover some of the rogue portfolio with utility type spells. If one caster and/or fighter can cover the ranged damage output, we should be okay in most situations. We just wont be very sneaky... more of a kick in the door type of party.

I am also open to all suggestions. :)
