Now, I know by now you’ll have some ideas about the look and the feel of your character, so it’s time to think about your race. Here’s where it gets interesting, folks, because I’m not referring to the colour of your character’s skin (or scales, we don’t judge here). Race in the D&D world is a lot more fun than that, as there are many other options other than the only option of human race that the real world offers us. Don’t get me wrong, you very much have the option of playing a human character and depending on what it is you wish to do with your character, it might be the best option for you, but there are so many options to chose from and even different variants of certain races.Â

My First Character was a cleric….he changed so much at the end of the Campaign that you could barely recognise him…..he lost his faith halfway through and had 2 dwarf dragons…..he was bad ass

That’s amazing 😀 My first character was an Ardent Scion, as we were playing a 3.5 game, and a bit of a “glass cannon”. I threw myself into the deep end with her so I didn’t have the skill to change her much at the time. It’s so great to hear how your character developed over time as you grew more comfortable and knowledgeable. Character progression is so fun!

Wow…never heard of that before. I had to use Google to figure out what a Ardent was.

If only I knew what I was getting myself into! 😂 As an Ardent’s powers are emotion and empathy based, I had to carefully consider her feelings and emotional control when making every decision, so it can get exhausting and my inexperience didn’t help much. As a starter character, you don’t have great control over your emotions which does make for interesting gameplay. At one point she got very angry with a fellow party member and a huge fight broke out. We role-played the whole thing with prop weapons and it was so much fun! How did your character develop over time? Did you multi-class at all?
