Okay, I promised I'd run a one shot for a buddy of mine's fundraiser. Now, I have 3 problems. One, what level range, 2, I need to make characters, and 3, I need to find?
The third is probably the simplest: just take one from the Wizards site. Of course, this means I only have a narrow level range, but that shouldn't be too bad. On the other hand, if anyone knew of some other possible one-shots I could do, I would be thankful. I purposely am not considering making one, largely because I'm not sure how good/appropriate I could make it.
The second and first are really one big problem. After all, to make characters, I need to make them a certain level. On the other hand, the level needs to be appropriate for the one-shot. So, suggestions for the level range I should consider? There may be some new people involved, so I'm automatically not considering high-level play, but where would you consider appropriate first time levels (not sure if there will be, but this is open to anyone)?
After the level break down, what classes should I use? What systems? Personally, I think anything more complex than Tome of Battle is out, but I know I had no trouble with ToB, and find it really fun. Hell, I know at least one guy using a duskblade as his first character, and he's not having any trouble(beyond some stuff not related to the class), and someone doing a Barbarian and having more trouble. So what would you suggest as the Party? I would like for you to suggest 6 classes, though the party should be able to operate on 4 people (though you can have 4 necessary people and two extra's, I'll control who gets what). Also, have suggestions on what the classes primary strategy is (just primary tactic/nessecary feats if its not obvious).
Thanks for the help.
