Concerning Classes
And finally . . .
I love the last one. There are so many possibilities and we end up utilizing so few.
ReplyDeleteIn my situation, everyone is either new to D&D, or wants to be a player. Consequently, if I want to get a game going, I end up being the DM.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be a player, but don't know if I could manage a third campaign along with everything else I've got going on. Maybe online . . . I dunno.
I did start something like this a while back, involving determining what races were best suited to be what classes with something as simple as minmaxing out the attribute bonuses (I love the crunch, I love it so good.) But I couldn't figure out a good way to compare it, after I came up with the chart.
ReplyDeleteThen it just occurred to me that if you really wanted to be minmaxy, you'd look at skill bonuses combined with race bonuses to skills.
It all started as a discussion of what minis WotC should make... I mean, ideally, you'd make the "most common" ones if you wanted to sell heaps of minis. Elven rangers, human Fighters, warforged artificers, halfling rogues, what have you.
