Voda Vosa: Could you be a little more specific on "Cooking Stuff"? Basically, if it's listed in the PHB equipment tables and is something you intend to buy, please spell it out. Also, you now have too many skill points spent. Listen is a cross-class skill, so you've now spent 10 skill points on class skills and 8 skill points on a cross-class skill for a total of 18. You only have 16 to spend. Also note that max ranks for a cross-class skill at 1st level is 2.

Cromm10k: Sorry to hear that. Try again next time.

Jemal: I'd like to see the complete character by the end of the week please. Also, please reference the setting bible for information on religions. You mention in your post that he starts out as a Paladin, yet the character you've posted is a cleric. Am I missing something?

Ethandrew: Libris Mortis page 106. Let me know if you decide to go this route so I can provide you with the template class version.

All: For spellcasting characters who prepare their spells, please include spells typically prepared as in "If I don't specify otherwise for a given day, these are the spells my character has prepared." And once the game starts, let me know if you're going to change something out on a given day.

My english is not very good so I didnt know how to spell some cooking tools, like the ... hmm how could I say it... "big round holow thing within which you cook food" But I will look for them in the book, just didn't thought it is that important =P
About the skills points you are totaly right, i messed up with that, will not happend again.
So here it is Muzdum, with a donkey and a cart also XD I spend all the money I think
I hope theres no more mistakes, I feel dumb already.

You're smarter than I am, I don't have a second language. That puts me at 10 or 11 Int in D&D terms.

I would suggest the following adjustments to your equipment: Swap out the 2 common meals, the gallon of ale, the donkey, and the cart (23 gp, 8 sp) for the following...

2 more sets of Artisan's Tools (one for each different craft skill) for a total of 3 (10 gp)
Waterskin (1 gp)
7 days of trail rations (3 gp, 5 sp)
Flint and steel (1 gp)

That leaves you with 8 gp, and 3 sp, which you can hold on to for staying at inns and anything else that may come up. Those are just suggestions.

The iron pot listed on the equipment list would be what you would want if you needed something to cook with (listed as Pot, iron for 5 sp).

Everything else looks good.

The delay is ok, pixie.

I'm going to try and come up with a better background, though. The one I threw out didn't hit me the right way somehow. Gonna have to rethink things a bit...

Btw, english is my second language ^^

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

Tric: Ok. Let me know.

This is very nice! Thank you. Were I to go this route, I forsee a few problems with the Blood Dependency. While I like the drawbacks and roleplay opportunity, some of my more honorable companions might think down upon this act of needing live sustenance.

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

You can forego the blood dependency by choosing not to have the blood drain special attack. The half-vampire can choose to have blood drain, charm gaze, or children of the night. There is certainly a lot of roleplaying potential with the blood drain and the subsequent blood dependency, however. I'll cook up the template class after I'm done with the ghaele.

In all honesty, I'd prefer the blood drain, especially if you create a character who has remorse and dreads his heritage. It provides such a rich template for internal conflict. And I know nothing implicitly states that blood draining = death to victim, but one would still have moral qualms about the act. I should just hire a woman of the night as a full-time employee who is the object of my obsession.

A better use for the leadership feat I could not imagine.

Seriously though, it will certainly provide for some interesting roleplaying opportunities. Now, I just need to know what the base race and your 1st level class are going to be. The features of the template won't start kicking in until you take the 1st level of the template class, which can't be at 1st character level because, as a template, there is no starting HD. However, the blood dependency could still be there, if you want the roleplaying aspects at 1st level.
