background/personality/appearance/etc. descriptions yet, but here's the stats for each character.  I'll finish the roleplaying descriptions tomorrow.I may add or remove one or two pieces of equipment, but I dunno yet.  For reference, I'm assuming that the Shadow Blade feat replaces Str to damage with Dex to damage, and that it does not use the 50/150% Str bonus multipliers for two-handed or off-hand weapons.  So my human character with the spiked chain (a Shadow Hand weapon) is only adding 1x his Dex bonus to damage.Since I'm not sure if the group is in particular need of a rogue or a meatshield, I dunno which PC I should use.  Creamsteak, what do you think?  Dwarven swordsage (beefy!), halfling rogue/swordsage (sneaky!), or human swordsage/fighter (in-between)?Thaldor
