The Green Dragon Inn (OOC)
The only bonus I have is Strength so I cannot give good advice. I can fight and there's that for 1st Level.
With group as is I don't expect you to be in the thick of melee battle, so if I were you I'd start out with Soft Leather as that gets your Agility bonus, so at even a single rank you surely have a positive MM.
...
Hang on, my sheet is wrong, Rigid Leather is Agility!
Forget all I said:D
