But anyway, in the interests of my actual interest in this RP, I can see that even if combat turns out to not be my favorite thing, at least the out-of-combat shouldn't be predetermined as far as I know, so there's some freedom there worth exploring. I'm kinda hoping that if we are stuck with a single roll for combat, that there will be the ability to add modifiers to that roll in some way, like via sufficient preparations, resources and such, but that's for later consideration.

As a character concept, I'm admittedly interested in a Wizard. I love my spell-slingers, and their spell list has always deeply satisfied my inner gremlin hoarder of spells. I like being magic batman. In particular, I very much like playing a necromancer, but I've continuously had poor luck in campaigns that last long enough for me to get to the good stuff.

I find it a little funny actually that this is my go-to, considering that we have two other people seemingly looking at squishy spellcasters.

As far as a race... it's been a long while since I played D&D tbh, but if I recall correctly, I think what I'm considering is called the "Reborn". Aesthetically, I'm thinking just straight-up a living skeleton that (as far as WOtC is concerned after the update) somehow doesn't qualify as undead, despite the race lore. lol
