Knowing that humans are the superior race does not make one ungood, unless you think all good people have perfect knowledge of everything, ever.

Good people can be ignorant.

I read the class overviews, but haven't dug in yet to know for sure. But will be magic based.
I can't imagine a D&D party without at least a dwarf or something.
All these goddamn special snowflakes wanting to be elf princess are going to kill me.

Agreed that good people can be ignorant, but can they be arrogant or supremacist? A nazi paladin?

No way, I just knew there was going to be a hold-out that wanted pointy ears or demon blood, or something.

I'll be honest, I would not have picked Troy as the speciesist in this group.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Quick someone get Gary Gygax on the phone!

Also the twist could be that Sir Biggus Dickus is actually a reverse, Dark Paladin.

I'm entirely on the position of the less rules we can argue about, the faster we play.

Catt you know you want to play. I'll let you be a fucking merchant or something and you can just show up every few sessions for updates on how that's working out. You just have to show in the first session to establish continuity.

Sir Biggus Dickus. . . Is that like calling the fattest guy in the group 'Tiny'?

His girfriend in high school was named Incontinentia.

Biggus Dickus would consider that an offense.

I'll get placeholder characters and tokens up for Leisher and Ron tonight. I'm going to go with Rogue and Fighter and the default backgrounds to start.

It's all changeable so feel free to edit yourself and your own choices in after I have the template done.

You can access made characters on Roll20. Just launch the game from our campaign page and find your character under the Journal.

I can't decide what class i want to play!

Cake said earlier that he was thinking of playing Cleric and i've been doing some reading on various sights about different classes and from my understanding the Paladin and Cleric are both pretty tanky front line classes both with the ability to heal. So now im thinking that maybe i'll play a mage class, maybe a druid or wizard.

I just don't see the need for three melee tanks and a rouge that which is also melee.

Cleric is mildly tanky, can hold his own and can wear heavier armors. Best in the middle, able to provide healing to both frontline and backline PCs.

If you are on the frontline battling with the cleric, and someone in the back gets knocked out and needs immediate healing - you can try to disengage and move back, but monsters you've already engaged will get to do an opportunity attacks as you turn your back. Basically a free attack roll against you.

Leisher's rogue is pretty dope. He's a rapier wielding, acrobatic, sneaky, 18 Dex rascal
