[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 428462, member: 232"] So, for my games I like each player to develop a concept first. These character concepts can be like those presented in the quintessential books for those who like them, but it isn't needed. The players in my games start out dirt poor and at the end of a long hook. People are usually in Sanctuary for two reasons. 1) They came here and are unable to leave 2) They are here to escape something There are people who live in Sanctuary by choice, and like it. So, maybe that's a third option, but not as fun. I start the characters out poor, really poor. They live in Downwind and have a few coppers to their name. They might have an iron pot and a few bowls to fix food, and maybe a dagger or sharpened stick to defend them. There are only humans for people to choose for a race, but there are a few different types. The most common are the Ilsigi and the Rankan. The Ilsigi are the most common, since they came down here for Sanctuary to get away from the conquering Rankans. There are some Rankans down here hiding, hunting others, or just trying to get by. That is before the Rankans come down and conquer Sanctuary, when that happens there will be more Rankans around and still not as many as Ilsigs. Rankan Attributes: No modifications Medium Sized 30ft base speed 1 extra feat at first level +4 skill points at first level, +1 skill point every level after 1st Automatic Language: Rankan (possible Royal Rankan as well) Favored Class: Any Ilsigi Attributes: +2 Con, -2 Str Medium Sized 30ft Base Speed 1 extra feat at first level +4 skill points at first level, +1 skill point every level after 1st Automatic Language: Ilsig Favored Class: Any S'Danzo Then there are the S'Danzo. A race of gypsy like people never staying anywhere to long, always ready to leave at a moments notice. Playing one of these people will give the advantage of having others you can trust, as the S'Danzo basically take care of their own. However, the other S’Danzo might require certain things from you and decide whom you should and should not associate with. They are also very close knit and might not except the S'Danzo's friends. Attributes: +2 Cha, -2 Str Medium Sized 30ft Base Speed Females have Divination abilities (work in progress) Males have other abilities (work in progress) Perform is always a class skill Automatic Language: S'Danzo, one of choice Favored Class: Bard Caronne There are also the Caronne. They are from west side of the content, north of Ilsig. They are known for their art and philosophy. The finest wines and silk are imported from these people. So, there are few who would actually stay in Sanctuary, but it is a fun race to explore. Attributes: +2 Dex, -2 Wis Medium Sized 30ft Base Speed +2 to any two Charisma based Skills (players choice) +4 skill points at first level, +1 skill point every level after 1st Languages: Caronne Favored Class: Any Raggah The Raggah are desert dwellers. They tribes that are large extended families. They speak their own language, rarely any other. Very, very few people not of the Raggah know their language.

They are also not conquered by the Rankan. They come and go from Sanctuary as they please. They also where armor and carry large weapons.
