Here we go! I had a tough time deciding between gnome and halfling, but I think the gnome as written in the PHB really doesn't mesh with how I picture the inhabitants of Zilargo, so I stuck with a Khorvaire Halfling. Still working on equipment, spells, and filling in some blanks, I'll have them up on Wednesday. Any suggestions for spells would be greatly appreciated, it's been a while since I have played a spellcaster. I was thinking of going towards the charms and illusions route. Also, Gomez, could I trade the Familiar abilty for the Scribe Scroll feat?
Kira Fierken
Halfling Sorcerer
Background: Kira is the youngest daughter of a merchant family in Breland with strong aspirations toward entering the nobility. She attended the best schools and social events Wroat had to offer. Her father was finally appointed to low-ranking position in Parliament while Kira was attended finishing school at Graviat University, a prestigious but small campus located near Parliament Hall. Things were looking up for the Fierkens.
Then all the family’s dreams came crashing down. Master Fierken was caught accepting a bribe for some minor issue, and he was used as an example by the authorities. Banished from political service, he fell into a deep depression. Kira was pulled from school. Her name tarnished, Kira decided to leave the area and find her own way in Khorvaire. She has traveled to the Lhazaar Principalities, hoping to find employment within the loosely organized confederacy. She made it as far as Port Verge before the money started to run out, and now she is ready to take just about anything that arises.
Appearance: Kira has the typical Halfling build, but with the thin limbs and soft hands of one who has never worked a day. She dresses nicely in clothes better suited to a cosmopolitan lady than those of a traveling mage. She keeps her hair carefully cut to shoulder length, and despises looking or feeling dirty.
About this character: A friendly and talkative young woman, Kira has never had trouble making friends, even amongst the big people. She has a knack for making people at ease. Kira is accustomed to a life of comfort, and is finding life outside the city and its safe, warm rooms to be a chore.

The man with the probe
Scorching Ray is good if you like blowing things up at short range, but it's 2nd level, so you might not get it yet. Magic Missile is always usefull. Enlarger and/or Reduce person can be usefull and utilitarian. Animate Rope cann be a good utility spell, as can Prestiditation. Do make sure you get detect magic as a 0 level spell, read magic can be useful, but isn't as usefull.
Complrehend languages can be usefull if you don't have a good decipher script or you can touch the people you want to understand.
Hope those help
BTW, what book is the Education feat from?

I was thinking Read Magic, Detect Magic, Message, Light, and Prestidigitation at 0 level, and Charm Person, Silent Image, and Sleep at first. I'll leave the damage doing to you guys, unless you all think I really need to take a combat spell. I think I will wait for some more input before making a final decision.
Education is from the Eberron Campaign Setting, pg. 52.

I think I like the idea of Sleep, a guy in my face-to-face game has put it to very good use over levels 1-5 or so. Silent Image might end up being a total waste, but I'm looking forward to having some fun with it in a roleplaying context.
I grabbed a couple of the ones you recommended as scrolls. Equipment is done.

:\ If I had to tell you how many times that has happened to me, we would be here all day. I bought a bunch of books lately, and have really only skimmed all of the Complete books.

Whooo Hoo! I'm in a GOMEZ GAME! All my e-buddies will be soooo jealous.
This Spellcraft or Read Magic thing to read a scroll is making me a bit nervous, though. Kira ended up with a +10 in Spellcraft, and can cast a whole bunch of Read Magic, but I hate to think I will be called upon to cast something with a DC of 21. A bit iffy, ya know?
I'll update her to reflect Scribe Scroll. Thanks, Gomez. Can I create my own scrolls without having to spend the xp cost? It would let me get some more 1st level scrolls to buff up the party a bit. If not, I'll just stick with what is already there.
