Omega suggested that this RP might be something we should try.
We've got no tabletop experience to speak of (outside the Munchkin & Mwahahaha! card games, neither of which truly count, wethinks), read up a bit here and there on D&D, but we're willing and interested in learning.
we're not sure exactly what sort of character concept to go with yet, but the idea so far is:
Rogue class.
either Fetchling if possible (yes, the Race Point 17 might need some sort of nerfing), or Dhampir or half-elf.
The abilities like "shadow Blending" & "disguise self" as well as the bonus to stealth are the ones that attracted us to that species. We don't fully understand the abilities related to plane shifting (yet) so those are naturally not major for us.
Rough idea beyond that is building it somewhat like a thief, with not much outright loyalty to anything except own profit. At least not initially. Fond of stealth and other sneaky stuff, but not overly skilled at magical stuff (even taking level into account)
We can't work out much more on the concept till we have race down.
