[sblock]New stats with no racial modifiers included: Str 14, Dex 13, Con 12, Int 13, Wis 13, Cha 15. You don't have to be proficient with all weapons in a group to take the weapon focus, just one of the weapons in the group. However, you have to be raised a Valenar to take Valenar Blades as a weapon group proficiency, focus, spec, etc. You can take weapon focus: Large Blades which will include Scimitar and falchion (plus double scimitar if you ever become proficient with it), in addition to greatsword and longsword. Also, you should know that there ARE Valenar with the mark of shadow, and as soon as their mark is discovered, they are sent to train with a very specific group of Valenar who are stealth/spy specialists and seperate from the dragonmarked houses. If your mark is known, you would be sent to them. If it is unkown, then keep it hidden, and you could deal with teh consiquences of having it revealed later. Basically, your history will be problematic, but doable. Feel free to change it if you wish.[/sblock]
