Hey there, I am D&D newbie that is looking for some help with his first character of D&D.
I have always wanted to play RPG games (pretty much just D&D) since I was like 9 but I just couldn't find people to play with, however 1 year ago I started to play Vampire : The Masquerade and Werewolf : The Forsaken.
They are pretty cool but I just think sometimes they are pretty dull... they lack.. fantasy, things I am sure I will be able to find in Dungeons and Dragons.
Some weeks ago one of my friends told me he was making a D&D story (at last!) so of course I am all excited cause of this...
So I was wondering if you guys could help me with my first character?
I am still a newbie in RPG's overall, despite I have played for a year... let's just say the Storytellers of Vampire and Werewolf ain't that... newbie friendly and prefer to focus on the veterans, therefore I have not been able to improve as a roleplayer that much.
However the guy that will run the D&D Campaign is mad cool, I have been asking him how is the story going and he is giving me advice and so (things the other dudes didn't gave to me) so I am sure this could be my real first awsome RPG story.
So he is telling me we will play AD&D (that is 2nd Edition right?) so well I wanted to try out 3.5 cause I just love Arcane Archers... but hey it is still D&D. :D
So I was thinking of making a Paladin.
Or anything else you think it would be suitable for a... ''green'' roleplayer.
I ask this cause my first RPG character was a Malkavian, and those who know them, you must know that those aren't really made for guys that have NEVER EVER roleplayed at all.
I have been checking ''The Complete Paladin's Handbook'' from AD&D and all they stuff they must do seems pretty cool, but at the same time it is a lot of stuff they must do : Tithings, Donations, Charity, Not being rich, Not having more than 10 magical items, etc.
So probably a Paladin is not the best option for a newbie.
So I was wondering if making a Paladin would be a good idea.
The reason I want to make a Paladin is cause I just love them overall, I always try to be one in MMORPG's and I always try to pick ''Holy spells'' and so, I just love those dudes in shining armor.
So well.. err this seems a bit confusing.. sorry It is just I am way too excited to play D&D. :D
But I would really appreciate the help from you guys.
Thanks in advance.
