He may even have been a woman...who knows?  I t doesn't have any tangible effects on game mechanics other than a possible reroll once in a while.  But the plot hooks and role playing possibilities!!!  As to the armor...forget about it.  I thought about it and realized that it would be easier for me to upgrade my equipment than most of the party's through game play simply because my build doesn't require much.  No weapons, ammo, and I'm not a front liner, so no immediate need for heavy armor.  Thanks for the offer, though.  I'll trade it for a tattoo on my Johnson that says "Bahamut blesses you and bestows upon you and your children a life of golden prosperity and fruition of your grandest dreams" in large bold script. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Jim</blockquote>
