[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 6133997, member: 63746"] Nice character, Alkaline! In terms of comments, I think you forgot to add the basic 10 pounds for standard equipment, plus 7 pounds for the 70+ gold coins in your purse (top of p.23 in the rules). Gambler might possibly also wish to put a weight on the fishing net and the tent - as those are fairly bulky/weighty items - but other than that it seems fine. 27 seems old for him though, if I might say, perticularly in a medieval setting (fantasy medieval, but still :)). At 27 most people in this time will have a wife, kids and at least 10 years+ of experience in their chosen profession (if it's not 15+ years). Given his apparent lack of overall experience (from his background and the fact that he's level 1), I would suggest dropping it to 17 instead? Re background, you'll have to work out the details with Gambler and [MENTION=11760]Whizbang Dustyboots[/MENTION] (Bosco's player), of course. I'd suggest putting "suggested background" as the title until then as adding or substracting from another character's background usually requires permission/prior consultation with his or her owner? I'm personnaly a bit disapointed you didn't choose to be a local, as the 'rise from humble origins' and 'becoming fully realized adults/heroes' themes (which are sort of inherent to the Starting From Level 1 experience), to me, work so much better/have so much more impact when they are lived in a community that you care about and with adventuring partners that know you and that you know (and, as we've found out, there is plenty of wilderness close by (sometimes much close than you think) to live out exploration themes anyways, without having to add the PCs base town to the list as well). Ah well, different strokes, right? Speaking of, I take it you've chosen to join Bosco in the Hack and Loot party? Should make for some interresting reading. :) [/QUOTE]
