Hello everyone,
We are nearing the end of my first TTRPG campaign and in a few weeks, the DM is starting a homebrew. I joined this one half way through and a friend slapped together most of my level 7 character for me, a basic fighter. For this new campaign I’m hoping to have “more to do” in and out of battle so I’m looking for class advice.
I want to play a support class but I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the class options. All I know is that I want it to be beginner-friendly support that can heal but also do more - like damage, buffs, or debuffs. Doesn’t have to be all 3!
The group gave me a few suggestions but there was so much back and forth about how complicated they are, I thought I’d pose the question here.
Can someone help point me in the right direction on a simple support? Any help would be appreciated!
Happy to help! Feel free to tag me or DM me if you have more questions down the road. Hope you have a better experience with this character
I’ve got an oddball one for ya if you feel like getting creative…
The GM hasn’t finished fleshing out the subrace I picked and said if I have any ancestry feats to suggest, he’d be down with implementing them. It’s a very small (1-2ft) Ysoki and I’ve got nothing even after looking up Mouse Facts™. I guess mice have really good hearing?? No idea how that translates to a TTRPG
Got any fun feat ideas for when Fievel Goes West? No big deal if not. I’m asking as a creative exercise more than anything!
For the hearing, there is an Elf heritage that grants a bonus to perception when relying on hearing. They could also do something with hearing or smell as imprecise senses since most beast races get something like that.
For playing as a Tiny creature, I’d recommend looking at how the toy Poppet handles it. Basically tiny creatures have shorter ranges (since a weapon that reached 5 feet into the neighbouring square would be unwieldy for them). That shouldn’t impact you very much as a caster though.
Ohh I like that one! He has a feat for smell (+2 perception) but I pitched him the elf heritage one and he’s on board
