[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 6164774, member: 11520"] I was just trying to be fashionably late so as to make an entrance. :cool: Here's the summary from Character builder and the full .pdf of the sheet is attached. I still have to write the description and history, but I have it in my head. I ended up going Human rather than Tiefling. I know I could likely be a bit more powerful that way, but I just couldn't come up with a concept that I was excited about playing.
