That's what I play in our 5e game. Aggi Redwing, forest gnome diviner Wizard, and son of a famous military captain yet he refuses to learn the martial sorcery of his mother's profession. Though, be does carry a sling she gave him out of a sense of obligation. Ironically, when I'm absent for a session, the GM takes particular delight in Aggi using the sling. So far, he's gotten the kill on several badies.
I adore the playstyle. Merely doing damage now seems terribly boring.
My PC is a witch, And her powers consist of a little ability in flying, and levitating things. Her primary ability is to mirror or suppress the powers of others. So before that is useful I need to RP and guess their powers, and find a way to make it useful.
No combat skills at all. Low physical attributes. Still fun to play in a combat.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
Okay. That's what he doesn't do. What does he do, then?
ReplyDeleteSo, a bard?
ReplyDeleteNo, bards are terrible.
ReplyDeleteSo how friendly to save or suck/save or die spells is 5ed?
ReplyDeleteSeems like you could go along just fine and still more than carry your weight this way but I am really not familiar with 5ed.
He probably makes dire prognostications. That's a diviner. Ok, that was easy.
ReplyDeleteEric Duncan I'm not either. I've only played a 5e warlock but I'm getting the itch to make him act reckless and make a backup.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a solid plan!
ReplyDeleteSave or Suck is very good in 5E especially since you can use that Sorcerer power to force them to roll disadvantage on it.
ReplyDeleteI say go for it, the party is probably doing enough damage, be the weird one muttering in the back who's situationally useful.

Aggi has become one of my top ten faves.
I approve. If this is stupid I don't want to be smart.

Tony Demetriou that's a cool setup. What system?
ReplyDeleteDirect damage spells are boring.
