[GutterFace]

So we were given a ton of leeway by our DM who wants the first 5.0 campaign to be fun and an introduction to our new players.
i don't imagine this going very far but would like some suggestions.

so my plan was to make a pure grappler, barbarian?, Troglodyte.

does anyone have suggestions? and yes i want to make everyone puke when i grapple them.

the mechanics of grapple have changed alot, but if the campaing is an introduction to roleplaying, i think the idea might be a good way to create lots of cliches and force new players to speak out

i would use nets, ball bearings, and anything that can hinder enemies movement, so you can catch up when they are running

since its a charge and hug concept, i would read the dodge action, and try to work your skills arround beeing able to survive closing the gap between your group and enemies

monks get speed bumps, and teleports. but barbarians would probably have more HP to survive the onslaught while you are leroy jenking it out in the open
