[QUOTE="Rhun, post: 3220231, member: 29098"] I generally play halflings as Tolkien in flavor, too...I mean, that's where they originally came from, after all. I didn't have any ideas as to where the wizard's abode would be. I picture it being in an area that is somewhat forlorn, away from a major population center, where Graycloak could get away with doing evil experiments and such. Perhaps you would have a suggestion that would fit? I wouldn't have minded a better charisma, but there are only so many points to spread around. I had thought about reducing another ability to boost charisma, but then I realized that Rowan doesn't have any charisma based skills anyway, so it didn't seem to matter too much. I could drop his strength or wisdom to boost charisma, though...I'll have to ponder this. :D I do picture Rowan as the type that could fly off the handle. I've got a picture of him in my mind chasing children through the streets of a village while waving his walking stick in the air and yelling. In my homebrew, I give all of my casters Eschew Materials. It is more of a flavor thing than anything else, but I hate the thought of a powerful wizard being useless if he somehow misplaces his spell component pouch. And don't get me wrong...I love the evocation school. But when it comes right down to it, evocation and conjuration are very similar. And I wanted to have the grease spell (or newbie napalm, as it is sometimes called). [/QUOTE]
