I'm somewhat interested in this idea, but I'd like to create a character that doesn't have too much overlap with the other present characters. I do like the idea of making a character that has a less than positive opinion on Octavia for some variety. Any party composition roles we're notably missing in the already submitted characters? I'm leaning towards something like either a monk, cleric, or ranger atm.

Loosely categorizing and irreverently summarizing below are my thoughts on the party, atm, so apologies to everyone in advance...


A knight/paladin fueled by fairy prophecies and currently holding a position as a guild master.

An evocation/abjuration mage, burning less cultists these days, serving as a court wizard in a big prosperous city instead of returning to magical academia and a cloistered life.

A very angry and bitter necromancer, mad at himself, mad at the rest of the party, and mad at the world for failing Octavia (letting her die). Probably doing or thinking about doing some very bad things to bring Octavia back.

A washed up (sounds like alcoholic) battle monk (who used to channel calm and monk powers in battle to strike down baddies) struggling with the trauma of war and choices she made.

A stealth archer/ranger returning to the wilds and living his best wandering life (assuming a bit here, lol).

An artificer,your friendly neighborhood Tabaxi magical inventor with a sweet metal bird and thematic bird outfit.

GM seems to be mulling a healer or barbarian.

Both of you are good, go ahead and move it over. I also wanted to get everyone's opinion, I'm remaking my character to be a barbarian. Should I make an npc healer we could all control, or do you guys think we'll be fine without one?

I think it's fine for you to write what you think is most fun.

Like Kassarock said, we aren't necessarily mechanically bound by any rules (if you really wanted I'm sure a barbarian could have a gift for healing).

Worst case I would imagine many people in the setting learn some healing if they can manage (even if they aren't experts per say, sort of like how in some professions everyone is trained in the basics of first aid and/or emergency medicine).
