I fear for the session tonight.
I fear for your well being and his
At least we're planning to do Champion fighter for him to start with to keep it simple.
On the flip side we're level 5 so we'll see if he gets thrown into the deep end still. (Hopefully not too much.)
Well at least you have that going for ya. I wish you only the best of luck
Status update.
The new guy we've been able to teach reasonably well so far. Went a little into the start of the session with filling out the bare basics of his character sheet.
On the flip side the DM decided to put 40 NPCs into a battle (thank goodness he only uses ~12 at a time) and with their CR is such it's clear his goal is "The party loses the battle and gets moved to the next set piece." Got ~20 of them with 17 AC and ~40hp plus a recharge 5-6 ability that does 6d6 force damage, half on save. (DC 11)
We are 3 level 5s.
That said, if the warlock finally chooses a lv3 spell (fingers crossed for Hunger of Hadar) maybe we'll be able to get a mass of them killed. I've already got them slowed down with Spike Growth and ~15 of them are CR ~1/4 monsters with low AC and HP.
But with it being after midnight we ended the session mid-battle and will come up on it later.

Hi guys! This is my desktop alt account. My mobile one goes by the name of AgateElk8337, so maybe you've heard of me? Who knows! For those who don't know, I'm a demiromantic, very socially awkward he/him from the Sooner State. I'm also an unofficial therapist on Onions Are LIke Worms.

Right. Oh? You’re approaching me? Instead of running away from me, you’re coming right to me?

I’ve wanted to read that for a long time but I haven’t found it anywhere.
It's on Amazon, and you can get the entire trilogy on kindle for like three dollars.
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.
What's Gormenghast?
It's an old semi-surreal gothic fantasy book trilogy from around the same time as Tolkien, but it's closer to Dr. Suess meets Edgar Allen Poe.
