So we have a new guy in our rather large campaign. He never players DnD before and he stepped in for a session to take control of a 5th lvl transmuter that was out doing real world things. He had a BLAST, but he tended to use his spells to be a goof with the party or overcome minor issues we came up on. He wants to make a character and asked me to help. The problem with that is I tend to over think my characters to the max and I feel I would only confuse him more with convoluted jargon and "dip" theory. I beseech you all to help me find a place for a "goofy" PC in our party:
Resources: ALL Books
Current party: Factotum 7(Melee oriented), Sorceror 4, Cleric 6(Arcane focus), Barbarian 4, Ranger 4(Ranged), Transmuter 5, Cleric 4(Melee oriented).
Setting: Forgotten Realms
He is starting at 4th level with an 85 point stat buy 8-18 before racials. No LA races, no psionics.
As a note we play with a DM who is crossing over from 2e(slowly) so we play a modified 3.5 system. Also, this player likes to goof around (if you did not get that already) so i am looking for something a little more slapstick. His only requests are NO ELVES, ability to cast spells of some variety and be somewhat survivable (armor).
