What do I need to know that is different/disallowed by the nature of Ravenloft? Clerics are messed up, right?
I know you can't access the planes at all, without it being part of a quest/dm loophole.
Right now I've got a friend that wants to be a feytouched Bard that'll enter into Swiftblade...(Bad idea? Can't quite tell, but a hunch says I should be leery of what happens to that character), a friend who is interested in a "Joker" Bard(more of a an evil jester sort of thing, a crazy character, fate obsession sorta like Wanda Firebaugh from erfworld, need to help him with it since he's pretty new to the game), another player who is an unknown, myself who is still deciding upon things maybe an archivist archer or something or a multi-dipping meleer, and a possible other player who is as yet unknown whether he'll be there or what he'll play.
So... what sorts of bards would you recommend to introduce the new guy to? He's played a bit of 4e and a very little bit of 3.5 but not more than a short level 1 session or two. Or an alternative...
Some of it is in his direct words, some of this is paraphrased of his conception:
The Character was the jester to someone who ended up in Raenloft, may not know who anymore. Possibly involved in the fall of his particular dark lord. With a certain amount of glee. Rather crazy.
I'm sorta... ???? about what I should play myself. Gonna have fun deciding by tomorrow night. Oh, having the DMs decide what they're doing at the lastish minute.
