Hello everyone!
I recently got a case of DM burnout with my IRL group (we had quite a few gaming sessions in a row due to massive holiday). I told them we'd be taking a break due to the burnout and one of them suggested he'd DM while I rested. HUZZAH!
So now I got a chance to play again. I just... can't put this character idea I have in a sheet.
Starting at level one
All books allowed
18-16-14-12-12-10 to assign however we want.
He has some houserules about races (or maybe that's from FR, but I haven't found anything like that)
(Human) Extra feat, extra skill points (as usual)
(Elf) +2 Dex/ +2 Int/ -2 Con
(Gnome) +2 Con/ +2 Cha/ -2 Str
(Dwarf) +2 Con/ +2 Wis/ -2 Cha
(Halfling) +2 Dex/ +2 Cha/ -2 For
(Half-orc) +2 Con/ +2 Str/ -2 Int -2 Cha
The game is set in Forgotten Realms (more specifically in the north, Damara). Our DM told us that the game will involve us trying to fight-off some lich's forces that are trying to take over the realm we serve (apparently we are members of a squad that protects the realm). My fellow players asked me to get some sort of spellcasting, since we are short on that (the party consists of a tank Crusader, and a ranged Rogue).
What I had in mind was a mentor-like character that was previously a librarian/teacher, that due to the situation was forced out of his library/studies. He tries to help the group through the knowledge he acquired in his many years of reading [this led me to consider Archivist or Cloistered Cleric]. But he is also capable of holding his own in a fight due to the time he spent training in his youth.
TL;DR: I want to create a knowledgeable mentor-like character that is able to go into melee to help the group out. Group asked me to get spellcasting.
Level one
18-16-14-12-12-10 (in no particular order)
(Human) Extra feat, extra skill points (as usual)
(Elf) +2 Dex/ +2 Int/ -2 Con
(Gnome) +2 Con/ +2 Cha/ -2 Str
(Dwarf) +2 Con/ +2 Wis/ -2 Cha
(Halfling) +2 Dex/ +2 Cha/ -2 Str
(Half-orc) +2 Con/ +2 Str/ -2 Int -2 Cha
I thought about taking Archivist or Cloistered Cleric for my first level, and some Warblade levels for the fighting side. That or just going straight up Duskblade. I just...don't know.
Help me Playgrounders, you are my only hope!
