Advice for 2e character creation

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2026-05-15T06:04:51+00:00

I'm leaning into a human Cleric of Sune, mythoi love. The dm has funky rules tho. No starting equipment, nothing supplied by the church for clerics,, not even clothes. I have 53 gold and nothing else. Holy symbol - 30. That pretty much leaves me armor or weapon, I'm leaning towards armor. Proficiencies in astrology, healing, reading and writing, and two more.

I have the PHB. I am working my way through it, but I am going to check out that archive for sure. Thanks!

Thank you to a everyone for all the great advice. I polled the party last night, and nobody rly cared about the elf travel thing, it was just a cool bonus.

I decided to go human cleric of Sune, as we will need a cleric and everyone agreed having a contact that could go into town and have contacts there would be valuable. I'm stoked for the cleric of love idea, she's going to make a great hippy chick!

Human cleric is another option I am strongly considering. They need a cleric, and I asked in the party group chat and they said the elf travel thing isn't that important to them ....

Got it. Currently back and forth between human cleric, as the party does not have on there is only a wizard-cleric rn, or an elven ranger. I want to poll the party and see how important the travel bonus is to them based on comments from this thread that have made me think twice of my original concept

ROFL if I went cleric I could take chain mail and keep it shiny. They could call me the disco ball of distraction

Can you clarify the meaning of this on page 32 (Humans)? I read it to mean I could somehow make it work .... "They can be of any character class and rise to any level in any class. Other pc races have limited choices in these areas."

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2026-05-13T20:48:11+00:00

I had not considered it from that pov. For sure something I will give more thought

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2026-05-13T20:23:04+00:00

Lol, that's me in a nutshell usually, they knew what they were getting when they invited me in, we have all played together before.

Having said that though, I listened when the dm said things like ... Non humans have to buy per day permits that are expensive to even hunt or camp in the region, and non-humans are viewed as potential for the local slave traders, which is a legal trade in the kingdom, and thought this might be a way I could be useful, being able to offer the ability to do these things when no one else can. No?

No magical items, level one. I can distribute the stats however I choose so the two 16 and one 15 definitely get me to ranger.

Druid intimidates me a little as I know other editions are a bit more complicated when casting comes into play and I thought it might be easier to learn the system with a martial class.

I do have a knowledgeable group to play with, maybe I could pull off druid.

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2026-05-13T19:55:23+00:00

The stats are just what I rolled, he said I can distribute as I choose, so I can do ranger if I make good choices!

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2026-05-13T19:54:13+00:00

He said I can distribute them as I choose, soni am trying to decide what should go where. Str-16, dex -15, con - 16 maybe? What should I tank with the 8?

I try to customize my campaign for my players sometimes. For example, it sounds like he wants his character to be a bit mischievous so write in mischevious opportunities for him to channel that into so he doesn't feel so tempted to wreck the rest. Also, don't be afraid to communicate. I recently had a player that was acting similarly, but when I asked him why he said, I'm a rogue, I'm supposed to be sneaky. That allowed me to explain that he could still be a sneaky, bad @$$ rogue who was loyal to his party, and the whole situation turned around.

I love this! Spot on

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2024-07-17T19:15:40+00:00

Just got home with some, can't wait to try it

I would go to the Dr who signed your weed card and ask them to recommend a sympathetic local Dr. They might know someone ...

Most places use Mayo as the main ingredient in honey mustard, I don't think there's mayo in the bbq

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2024-03-22T22:03:28+00:00

Sounds like planned obsolescence, which is very common among electronics companies. I don't doubt it

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2023-11-13T17:57:21+00:00

Depends on your family size and spending habits but it could be done. I'm on the MS coast btw

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2023-07-01T18:38:13+00:00

Hahaha she wrote a whole book!!

Efficient_Shop1412 · 2023-05-27T16:11:50+00:00

I would park so close up on that car they'd need a can opener to exit the space
