Hello All!
I am about to participate in a very non-magic campaign and I can't decide what class or race I want to play. The campaign is 100% non-magic and set in what I can only glean to be a very ignorant and dilapidated world after some major event, however evolution hasn't completed, so not exactly sure on the setting or reasons behind it yet, which the DM is keeping secret deliberately. Here is what little information I have been able to glean from the DM:
"Super short version, only some races survived an event you don't know about it. Humans (as is) half elf (race skills as class skills) elf/wild elf (need to sleep/no immunity to sleep) surface dward, halfling (as is) kabolod (I'd have to look up stats, I think -4str +2cha or dex and +2 professional miner) Also limited classes, a lot of knowledge has been lost so: barbarian, fighter, rogue, scout, medic [custom healing class] or ask about certain classes"
"Tl;Dr world/settings (without the general flavor I normally do) was sun no more sun, gods are all but forgotten, the few gods that are remembered are more so children's fairy tales, no one remembers why but pelor is always the villain in children's tales and is used as a swear amongst adults. Some small settlements have popped up around floating stones called... yeaven stones? [Just a name he came up with] basically floating stones that give off light and can sorta be used to grow crops. Caravans are super important but it can take days, if not weeks or years, to get from 1 settlement to the next, should they ever even arrive."
"The art of smithing and crafting is basically being rediscovered using ancient relics, so there isn't much, if anything at all, as far as 'fresh gear' is concerned, so crafting is beyond important, I'm giving a bonus skill point every level to be used in crafting."
"Like to the point, consider new armor/weapons at at least a +1-2 magic item, master worked like +3 or higher (in terms of rarity)"
Asked about Bug bears and I was told they "aren't sentient yet. Well, anywhere near remotely civilized"
"Your starting at 1, it's going to be a long campaign"
"I'm gygaxian with my games"
"Disclaimer: this is a new world, random lore may randomly change. I think I got it all hammered out. Then again that's assuming the lore you pick up is true, and not horribly influenced by ones opinion because that never happens"
So I am looking to be filling out a party of 3-4 people for a long "gygaxian" non-magic campaign where crafting and trade is super important, and the sun is missing(?). I am experienced in role playing and this campaign won't be super combat oriented, but will have need of fighting capabilities. I am looking for any suggestions for a race/class combination that can be played with some flair or uniqueness to increase fun and options for role playing, preferably a female but can be male, and I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.
This is the part as is stands:
Kabold Scout (from dndtools.pw/classes/scout/)
someRace Medic (custom healer class)
someRace someClass
ME AND IDK WHAT TO DO D:
Thanks guys!
