[QUOTE="bloodymage, post: 285522, member: 4381"] What? No one has [i]anything[/i] to contribute to this effort? What I envision is for a player to be able to build a "person" from the ground up. No limitations to growth except what's "realistic." For instance, in my mind, it takes years of dedication, study and practice to learn the arcane arts.
