Yikes! That's nine applicants so far. I'll probably choose the first six or seven who come up with an interesting character (not necessarily with all the crunch intact), and keep the rest as reserve if they like.
Shay - don't forget a telepath as well!
I agree on the character role thing - it's not so much having two of the same class, it's having two with the same focus. Having a beguiler and an enchanter in the same party would probably cause more ructions than two wizards.
Ambrus: I think I'll go with +2 Cha to both types of Faen. Dex or Int are the most likely candidates but that kind of defines the difference between Loresong and Quickling so I don't want to touch that. Loresong would be your best choice for a magic-using one. Erm, you *could* use the fey-blooded sorcerer from PF, but that would be the *third* sorcerer suggestion so far. Maybe a cleric with charm or community domains, or an enchantment specialist wizard would also do the trick. Dragonfire Adept seems okay to me, no real problems compared to PF core classes.
Valthosian: I'm happy to include you, see first paragraph to this post. I don't know about others, but I usually check daily (except weekends). I tend to allow at least 24 hours before moving the game on, to allow the post to "pass around the world", although I'll sometimes address specific points straight away. So geographic location isn't really a problem.
