I’ve yet to play a warlock myself but when I do, the Genie Patron is so appealing.

Olivia of Hightower, Circle of Spores Druid who’s family and community is a Circle of Stars group but instead of partaking in Star study she went out foraging for mushrooms. As such she was a bit of a loner at Hightower.

One night her tower was attacked by Vampires and ultimately she too got bit, but when she did she was able to connect with the mycelium of the forest around her and it stopped the transformation halfway, leaving her a Dhampire. Now she seeks a cure and hopes to possibly save any of her family that is left that she can find.

I don't know how you or your table feels about third party stuff but Indestructoboy has a a Runekeeper for 5e that is heavily influenced by the 4e one (I've never played 4e so I can't verify this myself.) It looks very awesome and you might like it. It is not free but you can download a preview of the whole thing for free from the dmsguild site (so basically free).

Here's a Youtube Video where Indestructoboy goes over it.

I completely understand. It requires having friends that are into the game and willing to learn and then it requires to commitment to show up every week (or whatever timeline you set) and play. I would encourage you to play online (I would of recommended /r/lfg on Reddit to find a group but I assume we're here for a reason [If anything you can get on reddit just to find a group and dip]), either finding a group online or convincing friends you already have to play.

If not, there's usually enough buzz of DnD in the our modern day society that most younger people have probably heard about it and are curious. Realistically, everything you need to play is online and free. The Basic Rules are free and it is not hard to find the other books you want online for free (Not sure what Lemmy's rules are about piracy but if you want to talk send me a message).

At the end of the day, it's more about telling a story than anything else and a lot of people can get behind that. Now if you are simply too busy I understand, but I highly recommend everyone to try it.

Also I love your character idea. It is honestly so simple but it has so much potential and honestly kind of bad-ass.

Mine personally is rogue. While a druid might be able to stealth better, or a fighter do more consistent damage or a wizard solve most problems with magic there's something about rogues to me that I love.

I really try not to play the cliché rogue that acts as a loner or steals from the party. I'm personally more interested in a rogue that isn't a criminal but rather someone who uses roguish fighting tactics.

I like trying to find opportunities for sneak attack and I like being really good at what I'm good at.

My first 5e character was an Arcane Trickster Rogue so I really enjoyed dabbling with magic and the flavor is awesome. Later on, I made a Phantom Rogue and while I didn't get too far with her or use many of her features she was also pretty awesome.

Currently playing a Druid and Wizard in two games which I love, but I'm hoping for at least one more long term campaign that I get to play rogue before I am "done" with 5e.

I absolutely love this. As someone who very recently has started taking steps at the age of 25, I have had this sentiment and as dumb as it sounds, remembering the line from the movie has actually made me feel so much better.

First comment! I’m also doing my part!
