So I wanted to play a bard, but I didn’t want to Min max and play like a super optimized College of Lore or College of Eloquence bard. Really I wanted something different. I asked my friend to pick three races (he knew I was playing a bard, but he would later choose his top 3 colleges). He chose Fairy, Aasimar, and Tortle. So I numbered them off in that order (Fairy 1, Aasimar 2, Tortle 3) and used a random number generator. I got a 2, so Aasimar it was. He then asked the best question. “Do you want to do a Holy Angel type thing or basically a Metal bard?” I had NO idea because both sounded sick. So I put them into the generator. I got Metal. Next up we’re the Colleges. He chose Whispers, Swords, and Valor. I got Valor. I also wanted to Multiclass as I was rejoining a campaign after a character had died so I was joining at level 10. He chose fighter and refused to give anything else, so fighter it was. At that point both of us were kind of tired and just wanted to get it done so I could start work on the sheet itself, so I chose the samurai subclass and he agreed. So now im sitting at 6 levels of valor bard, 4 in Samurai fighter. Just want to ask for some guidance in terms of ability score improvements and if I should change up the distribution of levels. Also, wanted to share the wierd concept of a Fallen Aasimar Metal Valor Bard Samurai. Good thing is I’ve got about a week before the next session, so it’s not super urgent.
