02-03-04, 03:13 AM i have a character idea though i am not at all certain if it's a halfway decent idea or not. the intent is to be an elven resident of silverymoon. the hitch is that at level 1 this character is an expert, not a normal class. the theory is that i will most likly dual class the character, but not necessarily. i want to let the adventure and the campaign essentially mold this character. for example: while adventuring he noticed that his friends have a tendancy to get hurt, so at level 2 he takes a level of cleric. another example would be: sometime durring level one he got is butt handed to him in a battle, so at level 2 he takes fighter in an effort to make that not happen again. the way i figure it the pros are 10 skills of my choice as class skills and pretty decent RP value. the cons are that i wouldn't have any special abilities of the core classes, what do you guys think? (i'm going to post this in multiple threads, sorry if you read it more than once)

It has been my experience that FR fans aren't welcome out on the main boards. At least when talking about the Realms. Apparently Raistlin is the greatest literary boon since since Hamlet, and Elminster is a shameless Gandalf clone. :rolleyes:

I'd post this on the classes board only, maybe on the in-depth character development board as well. The Realms aren't in any way crucial to the issue, so that board doesn't need to be consulted. It's certainly not relevant to the functioning of the boards, so it doesn't belong here either.

On topic: One level in an NPC class isn't going to make that much of a difference, especially if you're going to develop the character organically. The Expert class isn't that bad to begin with anyway. Skipping from one class to another to essentially do no more than dabble in anything will be a much bigger issue to deal with.
