Help/Suggestions building a one-shot party
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2016 9:45 pm
We're running a one-shot this weekend and I'm having a difficult time deciding on what to do for a party of pre-built characters. (I'll explain below)
Here's the basic details...
System: 3.X/T
Rules/Classes Allowed: (Nearly) Anything Goes, I will absolutely be open to custom content
Races Allowed: Human, Tiefling (I think that's all for the time being)
Setting: Custom, Arid, City of Glass
Level: Suggestions welcome I'm thinking somewhere on the low end of sweet spot. 8-ish, maybe? 10?
Background details: The story stems from a (4e) Sha'ir who pacted to obtain power enough to help her brother overthrow the current rulers. Who then turned on her. Previously her powers were banned because she's a woman, now she's still KOS because her own brother wants her out of the picture. She has, instead, returned and recruited yet another resistance. Enter the party.
Most of the players will be regional/local, and therefore flavors of human or tiefling.
The party will be pre-generated to save time and hassle. The characters may or may not be given out at random... that's still up in the air.
There is one DnD newbie... and 4rrie involved. So I've been trying to think of characters that have "something to do" every turn and can easily broken down into a "how to play cheat-sheet".
I was thinking *definitely* a Fire Mage... but beyond that I'm very much in the realm over option overload.
So some favorite builds or direction would be very welcome.
So... uh... thanks for tuning in?
