[b]Spellbook[/b]. Are you using the starting spellbook from the DMG? That means no UA spells to start, but that's ok.

[b]Backstory[/b]. "Kit, Growing up" Back in the day, Kit was a tough and hardy lad, who excelled his agemates in the village of Cobton in almost every way. His parents were proud, and Kit’s exceptional range of talents led his mother to hope, not entirely secretly, that he could grow to become a paladin someday.
