Alright, I think I know what I want to do for my char. I'm pretty happy with what I've got, but there's bits I'd like to clean up.
Race: Half-Elf. I like being a half-elf.
Racial Power: Sorcerer AoE Burning Hands effect. my pact blade works with it, and it gives me a Cha-based "melee' range useable AoE.
Abilities: Str 8, Con 14+2, Dex 13, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 16+2. I think that works out. I don't need wisdom or strength, and dex gets me access to mobility feats, which are important.
Feats: Bardic Dilettante. Gets me Diplomacy as a trained skill, and a minor-action heal once per day.
Future Feats: I'll likely take improved star pact at second level, and the Half-Elf, Elf, and Human feats all look nice for future picks.
Skills: Diplomacy; Arcane, Bluff, Intimidate, and Insight. Insight would be my weakest at 7, which is still respectable. I like how the creepy, soul-sucking warlock is the party face.
Equipment: Pact Blade +1, Leather Armor, Adventuring Gear, Grappling Hook, however much gold I have left. (750 + starting - equipment)
XP: 805, same as everybody.
Alignment: Good. I just cant bring myself to play a bastard long-term. They are LOADS OF FUN in short bursts, but they get boring after a short while.
Background: Merchant, i guess? It doesn't really matter. I need to type up a meaningful back story, and writing short fiction is not something I am particularly good at.
