Hmm, some of these work. My DM does enjoy that good grass so there are some sessions where I could steal his entire box of dice without him noticing. Rogue it is, then!

Play the music from tape while miming on the instrument. Surely, acting falls within the scope of bardic abilities!

Or just do some form of oration (rousing speeches, telling jokes, rapping …). Bards don’t have to play an instrument, and using your voice for your bardic performance is way more practical than bringing some instrument on the road.

I can be any of these except for fighter just because I don’t really want to kick my best friend’s ass.

Then again, he is pretty scrappy, so like, I might end up getting my ass kicked instead if I tried, so either way, it’s a wash for me.

DM: Must have a god complex.

Complex? I find it quite simple

I don’t know any instruments (yet), but I can bring a vuvuzela and learn real quick during the next session

Depends on if it’s a bloodline relationship.

Handholding types get to be warlocks or clerics

“It’s absurd, we have a play group of 20 and they are ALL WARLOCKS.”

“My patron is Geoffrey d’Bezos, an arch fiend!”

“SHUT THE FUCK UP RAYMOND!”

i see a party of 5 fighters incoming soon multiclassing into rouges after putting him down a notch together

Would bard-warlock multiclass just be that one Bo Burnham song about Jeffrey Bezos?

Aztec death whistle would also be interesting. IDK how hard it actually is to produce that sound and it’s definitely harder to find (or make) than a vuvuzela, but you certainly don’t need to know any music and the effect is really impressive.

I inherited my fathers sword, shield, and cloak, so maybe sorceror? Is there one that uses weapons like that? I haven’t played one in ages.

Commoner it is, unless my GPA from over 20 years ago counts

Multiclass Fighter/Mage, yes.

Nah, some people have short fuses, some have very particular things/scenarios that set them off. Just don’t step on their feet, and back them up if someone’s pushing their buttons accidentally/on purpose.

Works for me, I already wanted to be a Death Metal Bard.

I can point to famous ancestors and have been accused of being both a demon and magical fey creature in daily life, can I be a sorceress?

If not I have other options.

Can I be a druid with a subclass of barbarian? Got the druid but fucking nailed. Sometimes I’m a temperamental little bitch, but not enough to translate to berserker rage.

Either warlock or wizard for me. My brother qualifies for druid and monk, but i’m sure he’d go for fighter just to beat the DM

For systems that grade on a 1 to 5 scale, subtract 1 from your average grade to get your GPA (for example, if you have a 4.3 out of 5 average grade, you would have a 3.3 GPA). Not sure how to handle a grading system that goes from 1- to 5+.
