[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3178989, member: 11146"] Whizbang, in reading through the Ptolus Player's Guide, I was struck by an idea for a tiefling character. I'm uncertain which class he would take, but am leaning toward sorcerer at the moment. Before I got too far into my idea, however, I wanted to check with you regarding the availability (or lack thereof) of the tiefling race. The Ptolus guide suggests that everything (and nearly everything) is represented in the city but your character creation guide in this thread's OP doesn't go into detail regarding races. Is tiefling okay? My idea is that this tiefling is in the employ of one of the city's more nefarious sydicates. He works, on the surface at least, as a hired curator for the tombs and crypts within the city's Necropolis in the northeastern corner of town. As a hire of the noble quarter, the tiefling's main job is to protect the noble family's crypts against robbery. The character is, in reality, an agent who serves as a messenger for [fill-in-the-blank] syndicate. The noble family who hired him may or may not, I imagine, have ties to the crime syndicate for whom the tiefling works. The tiefling, however, is tired of the constant petty demands of his bosses and also has a strong distaste for the crime world's inner politicking. He would like to break free from his syndicate and is waiting for the right chance to happen along. This is my way of creating a tiefling character who is fun to play but is neutral or good-aligned in nature. I'm not looking to create and play a lone wolf character or a character who makes trouble for the party (though by mere association, of course, trouble may very well find them). Thanks for the consideration and if you've a problem with any of that, I have no qualms about going in an entirely different direction. [/QUOTE]
