Hello D&D players! I'm starting a D&D 3.5 campaign and I don't know what to play as. The party is evil. The party so far is as follows: 2 barbarians 1 cleric 1 aspiring arcane archer 1 fighter (probably gonna go weapon master) 1 plague doctor (homebrew class that is being allowed) and me So what do you think I should go as? I'm thinking either rogue (going assassin) or straight up wizard and serving as artillery.
Hey, with such a big party and yet no true rogue or wizard (dont know about the plague doctor though) you could actually be a !USEFUL! evil bard! Consider it, this may be a "once in a lifetime" chance to play a bard which is needed as spellcaster and for trickery as breaking locks or flatter perople. Whatever your preferences are you should add up to the weak spot of the party, so i would recommend a rogue or (arcane) spellcaster since you guys got some heavy fighters and a cleric so far.
I second Ezrael, if only because an Evil Bard sounds like great fun. Otherwise, a Barbarian... you never have too many Barbarians...
I actually played a evil bard once, I asked my DM if I could be a comedic bard so I would tell jokes instead of do songs to give out buffs or debuffs, all I did each session was make fun of the enemy.
