So I'm planning to run a game for a few friends who have never played D&D before and decided that instead of having them go through making a character, they will play as themselves. But in order to pick a class without them having to read up on all the classes, I want to present them an in-game choice where they have to pick a magic coin that then gives them their powers and gear.
I'd like to hear if anyone can think of some kind of quotes/inscription for the coins which describe each class. Something a bit like "Rage is my weapon along with my Axe, with it, I defend my friends and defeat my foes."
I hope this is the right place to ask and I'm excited to see what others come up with =D
Wizard: Any challenge can be overcome with preparation. Warlock: Power is worth any cost. Sorcerer: Magic is alive and bends to my will. Rogue: A little bit of coin, a little bit of backstabbing. Ranger: I am the hand that holds back the wild and the dark. Paladin: What is right is not always easy, but it is always right. Monk: My body is a weapon that I am never without. Fighter: A little brawling, a little drink, a good friend at your side and an adventure awaits. Druid: The seasons turn and I have come to reap what you have sown. Cleric: A higher force may guide me, but I am its will upon this world. Bard: All the world is a stage, know your part and master the stage. Barbarian: I get knocked down, but I get up again, you are never gonna keep me down (Or for less Tubthumping: Mine is the rage that will scorch the sky and shatter the earth)
Presented in reverse alphabetical order because I can. Good luck, have fun.
