[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 3045223, member: 19130"] I meant overkill more in the sense that I might be focusing on it overmuch. I'm not really sure how I could get to the point of doing anything useful in melee, but maybe I could reassign a feat to get better skills or something (although, unfortunately, most skill feats stink out loud for some reason). Or, I dunno, kick my Charisma down a notch and get better skills from a higher Int bonus or something. Ergh, I should be writing background, not tweaking... I think I might have different sensibilities than Isida. "Concept" to me is a workable background and mechanics that play to a central theme and avoiding overt silliness like giving a dog a cloak ("giving a dog a cloak"? sounds like the beginning of a song). I don't have much experience with detailed backgrounds. Heh, actually, I just realized that I still owe Isida Arion's background from the Scions game. :lol: Yeah, that's what bothers me. Maybe in a full 1-20 campaign it's balanced (okay, I doubt that, but for the sake of argument), but in a PbP where we aren't likely to gain more than 2-3 levels (and that's being optimistic)...
