The group is all good friends!! The DM is allowing us to play up to 2 charecters each and since this is my 1st campaign is being very generous(with the other player's consent) to allow me to ck out some of the races and classes. I just cannot seem to get into the roleplaying becase as my name states shy lady. The DM has suggested that if I find something I am comfortable with and can get into playing and realize how much fun it can be I will probably have no problem playing different races/classes in the future. He has given me some of his books to look over and (again with the other player's consent) told me that if I could come up with a viable charecter he would consider it.  Since I am Native American I have taken some aspects of the Druid, Ranger and some things I saw in the Rifts: Spirit West book and come up with this. It is not finished but I would really like some input to see if I am just wasting my time or if I should continue making this? Plz keep in mind I am in my first campaign and admit I have no clue what I am doing so don't bash on me toooooo hard! Thank You very much for your comments or suggestions! WARRIOR PRIEST/PRIESTESS  CHARECTERISTICS: Warrior Priest/ess are highly spiritual beings who believe that we all are spirits who are given free will. They believe that our true selves are these spirits and our bodies merely a vessel thatis animated by us when we are no longer in the Spirit Realm. Upon dying we return to the Spirit Realm, but may return to a "physical" realm many times as these returnings give us information and experiences that help us to evolve. They believe that not only is this the case with "human" spirits but all spirits including animals. Warrior Priest/ess avoid wearing med. or hvy armor but are proficient with lgt. armor and rely on "body paints" and fetishes to provide them with bonuses.ALIGNMENT: Warrior Priest/ess lean more toward good or neutral as they know that if they are evil,upon returning to the Spirit Realm, they will have to answer to all they comitted an evil deed against for as long as that one deems necesarry(they will not be allowed to return until the last person has decided they have answered enough for their deeds.)RELIGION: Warrior Priest/ess being "spiritually aware" realize that there are many paths to God/the Gods, therefore they do not persecute anyone for their religious beliefs and quite often take things from different religions that work for them and incorporate it into a "personal working religion" They do revere nature as Druids do because they believe everything was made by God/the Gods so therefore it is sacred. RACES: Humans are the most likely but open to any race that has a "tribal" setting or someone of another race that was adopted by a "tribal" race.HIT DICE: d8CLASS SKILLS: concentration(con), craft(int), handle animal(cha), heal(wis), knowledge nature(int),knowledge relgion(int), ride(dex), spellcraft(int), spot(wis), survival(wis), listen(wis), swim(str) THE WARRIOR PRIEST/ESS1ST LEVEL: B.A. +0, Fort. +2, Ref +0, Will +2, Special:Spirit Familiar, Personal Fetishes, Totem spirit Spells Per Day: 0-3, 1st-1 2ND LEVEL: B.A. +1, Fort. +3, Ref. +0, Will +3, Specials: Wild Empathy Spells Per Day: 0-4, 1st-23RD LEVEL: B.A. +2, Fort. +3, Ref. +1, Will +3 Specials: Woodland Stride Spells Per Day: 0-4, 1st-2, 2nd-14TH LEVEL: B.A. +3, Fort. +4, Ref. +1, Will +4 Specials: Track Spells Per Day: 0-5, 1st-3, 2nd-25TH LEVEL: B.A. +3, Fort. +4, Ref. +1, Will +4 Specials: Greater Personal Fetishes Spells Per Day: 0-5, 1st-3 2nd-2, 3rd-16TH LEVEL: B.
