Ya know, come to think of it, steeldragons does apparently have LOTS of time on his hands, so maybe he would be the best one to take on a second character after all.....
Comments, anyone?
hahaha. I do indeed...most of the time. As I said, it's really up to you Mr. DM. I can take him on. We can have him be a group character (if it's a "first come, first Odo" I suspect it will probably be me most of the time anyway. haha). Or NPC him for you...OR come up with some reason for him to have to leave (left behind to tend to the villagers might be a good spot to leave him in NPC world for a time..."feeling he can best serve Pholtus by guarding/remaining with the defenseless common folk" yada yada.).
Though I'd hate to see us lose a cleric! Shiyana can't cast curative spells for a while yet...aaaand I suspect this collection of farm houses doesn't have an apothecary or potion-shop/maker where we could stock up on healing potions.
I'm easy. Whatever everyone and/or you decide.
I will, again, go on record, that I have no problems with bringing in another player. But, again,, that is up to you Leif, as DM, and what you want to deal with. I don't think any of us want to "slow things down/put them on hold" to find another player. But if one comes in along the way, I have no issue.
