works for me. how about an "ondonti as characters" section?

i'll work on some flavor text today as i get the opportunity.

i'm thinking that maybe they should not start out with any weapon proficiencies, since they are pacifistic by nature (i.e., not even simple weapons).

They wouldn't anyway, right, as it is granted by whatever class they take? If they take commoner (which would probably be the most common as farmers), they'd only get proficiency with one simple weapon.

good point! that's fine. and they can always weild something they are not proficient with clumsily (and i'm sure they would).

Isn't a creature automatically proficient with any weapon mentioned in its write-up?
