Hi everyone. I was thinking of my new character for a while and now I find myself stuck so I'm asking for help. I have some general idea about what he will be like and so on but I can't decide which class will suit it best.
So ma character backstory and characteristics and another known info (you can change background if you wish AND give me reasons why...):
So it should be Halfling because I didn't play halfling for a looong time... Ability scores are already roled: 16, 15, 15, 14, 13, 13 (quite good scores I think). And now... Even as halfling he should be grumpy, have bad mood all the time, have pesimistic notes to everything that somebody will do and so on. He should be some military oriented because I thought of his backstory and I want him to be influenced by war that was in our world few months back. I though that he was part of local militia because he had a lot of friends there. When the war beggined, he was called to service. He was just a standard farmer who knew nothing of fighting and so on but he must go there because of laws which he honour. After he get his weapons and was sent to battle he was forced to fight for real first time in his life. (The battle was against standard evil wizard with army of orcs and goblins and even few giants.) With his halfling luck he survived but he turned into grumpy individual (as described above). Because all his friends died in the war he changed a lot. He is cold now, he don't care about himself. He blame himself for not being good enough to help his friends in the battle. In his heart he still want to live, to make good and help and he wish to find new friends and not fail them as he did to his friends in war but he's cold and he don't care what he's doing as long as he takes it as good think that will help someone. After war he didn't return home because he has lot of painful memories adherent to his home and friends and he started to travel. He is trying to help everyone he met on his travel and such joining our new adventure group.
So now, you know the story and the question. Which class? I want something battle oriented (because of his part in war) but it could be even something else if you come with good story why he should be so cold to everyone he met. I have ONLY 3.0 core books avaible (DM's choice...). I don't want any PrC, I don't want him to be overpowered and I'm not even sure if I want him to multiclass. I could be every class in PHB because or group is big enough and have everything needed. (druid for healing, rogue, sorcerror, barbarian and fighter. Also there is monk but he isn't playing often) I thought of paladin because he's good fighter and with his "urge" to make good he could be one. I don't care if he fall if he will be paladin, it's just for roleplaying purposes. Also I thought of fighter or cleric who get his faith when he was fighting for his life on battlefield. I even thought of sorcerror, but I'm not sure, because of his background and I'm too lazy to make new one which will fit sorcerror if I don't know if I want to play him or not.
So can you help me please? Just Halfling - something, at first level with 16, 15, 15, 14, 13, 13 scores and core 3.0 books only. Thanks. :smallsmile:
PS: And I'm sorry for any misspells. My english sucks. :smallfrown:
