Good question, we have one player on the player list that didn't vote for the game, and we have people like you who did vote, and even declared your intention to play, who aren't on the list... :\rangerjohn said:
I’m not going to force a DM/GM to run a game with more players than they are not comfortable with nor I’m I going to tell them which players they have to take. There giving up there time to run a game for the rest of us.
So adding or removing people is going to be up to Ghostknight and no one else.
Rangerjohn, if you dislike my answer you can PM or email me, ftn4life@earthlink.net and we can discuss it farther but who knows maybe it was a simply oversight.
Respectfully,
The mod with no powers...

Appearance: Mirumoto Zoriko is a very petite woman. When most encounter her for the first time in court, they assume she is a wife who tends to stay at home. But beneath the silks of her court dress, Zoriko is a very strong, balanced young woman, and an excellent samurai. When traveling on a mission for her lord, she prefers the lighter partial armor instead of the heavier great armor that many other samurai wear. Hers is laquered in varying shades of green, from jade to emerald to pine.
Her black hair is glossy and very straight, and she tends to wear it in a noble's topnot. Her eyes are wide and jade-green, and she often wears clothes dyed to match them; it is her one real conceit.
Personality: Zoriko is a passionate woman, though most would not know it from meeting her briefly. In the company of strangers, she prefers to let them think of her what they will. But once she has had something of interest come up, she shatters whatever illusions people have of her.
She is fairly forthright with her decisions, using her passionate loyalty and undeniable skill to try to win people over to her way of viewing things. She does not possess the honeyed tongue of some courtiers and thus sometimes her fiery approach can be abrasive, but she is convinced that it serves her well enough. Her pride can be something of a stumbling block, and she can be rather headstrong at times.
History: Zoriko was born into the Mirumoto family, and it became quite apparent that despite her small frame, she had the potential strength and speed to be an excellent samurai. Setting aside childhood aspirations for being a shugenja when it seemed her parents were reluctant to place her in the Mirumoto school, she quickly began to show her strength and skill with the blades. Like many of the Dragon clan, she learned the two-blade method, weilding her katana in one hand and her wakizashi in the other.
However, she rarely sullies her ancestral daisho on common enemies, prefering to use the elaborate heaven lotus phoenix tail for normal combat. She feels the weapon adds to her stature and the mystique of the Dragon clan.
Though she excels at the blade, she has also spent a great deal of time at court, primarily assisting her father in finding a husband for her. She is accomplished in caligraphy and tea ceremony, but some noble men have found her bluntness and warrior skill somewhat intimidating. Zoriko greatly desires to have a child, but her pride will not let her or her father accept just any potential husband.

This would greatly help me (even the xtra one per level would give me 11, as Bro suggested). I need all the skill points I can get to pull this off.... *bats eyes at GK*Brother Shatterstone said:Yeah, this game seems like it needs alot of skill points... :\
GK, what if we bumped the skill points up a bit for each class, like by increasing the base number by one would give an addition 11 points. (It's just an idea.

Is this in error?
If not you’re going to have to modifier her for middle age. (At least I believe so, the age table in the OA appeared to be different than the PHB... Of course it was late last night so I could be in error.)
Yeah, that was an error, I was doing some copying and pasting so that was unintentional.

GK, I just got Comp Divine this weekend, would you prefer that I use the Shugenja from there (as it is updated for 3.5) or the one in O.A.? They are not that different BUT the spell lists are. Just wondering.
I am pretty sure I am going to be a Human Crab Earth (Order of the Perfect Sculpture from Comp Divine) Shugenja. Still working on him, and will be done shortly
