Ilium, no problem. What can you tell us about him, so we know how to introduce him? Is he part of the militia the group is with, a dwarf from the mountains, a part of the refugees with the dwarves, a renegade from the Tallione forces, or somewhere else?
Stupid question: Doesn't 3,725XP make him 2nd level? I don't have my books here and I may be mis-remembering the table.
EDIT: Ok, I got it now. 1st level is 0 XP, not 1000. Duh.
Anyway, I'm thinking a dwarf from the mountains. I think I will go with rogue levels, specializing in the infiltration and elimination end of things (rather than social skills, etc.). Someone who might later wind up with Dread Commando or levels or something.
Background-wise I am thinking either an active member of the military assigned by his superiors to help out and make trouble for the invaders. Or maybe a personal agent or friend of Lender Bermax. Much the same thing I suppose, since he wants to mess with the Tallionians (sp?). In either case, his primary motivation is doing his duty, rather than any kind of personal feelings.
Character Name: Chalik (Bermax?) Would all the dwarves of the clan use the Bermax surname, or only the leaders?
Description: Chalik is rather tall and lean for a dwarf, though not extremely so. Also unusual, he keeps his medium brown hair and beard short and neatly groomed. Keeps it out of the way. His clothing, too, is usually simple, with a minimum of adornment and a practical cut.
Background: TBD, but I'm definitely leaning toward a friend or agent of Lender Bermax, if that's OK.
Character coming today or tomorrow.

HI there,
I don't know if there is still room for an alternate, but I was playing Danica Swann (Human sorcerer) right at the game's beginning, until the big crash when I got lost. If however, there were room for her return, that'd be neat.

Hey Kobold Stew, welcome back! You are welcome to play Danica Swann again (be aware Rix is an NPC right now and will probably soon be placed back to alt status). I think that if you can come up with a decent explanation of why Danica is now 3rd level with 3,750 XP, then she is good to go and we can say she slipped into the militia force and maybe we can say Alexander, Kel, or Rix notice her and ask her why she's slipped away from Kyle Radnal's care. Or if you want, you can always make another character.

Ilium, most of the dwarven people are named Bermax since they are related through a series of complicated relationships. Still, there are more distant relationships with other surnames, too. You may be a close relation to Lender and a friend, or close relation to the king, or maybe a distant cousin and still a friend to Lender if you are more comfortable with that.
Feel free to play a rogue character, but we are sticking with the core books for this campaign, which goes to chapter 6 (and 6th level). We may open it up to more of the books if we decide to take the same characters and world and do a second campaign. I may say that Chalik is scouting the area and discovers the human militia, which will work great, since you can tell the characters where the secret entrance to the dwarven home is... The members of the Tallione Empire are also known as the Imperials.

Recruiting is now closed, although I am willing to take an alt player at this time.
Ok, I found the IC thread and I've made good progress on my character. A couple questions:
1) How much money should I spend on equipment? Any restrictions I should know about?
2) What about stat generation? I did a 28 point buy, but I can adjust it as needed.
3) As a member of the dwarf delegation, am I assumed to be along already?

Answers to
1.) 1,350gp for equipment. (Same for Kobold Stew)
2.) Roll 4d6 and drop lowest. The total of the six stats should not exceed 90 points. If a character that your roll up has a stat total of 91 or 92, we can tweak it here in the OOC.
3.) You can be a part of the delegation that volunteered for the militia, and so is with the party, or a member of the delegation that returned to the mountain kingdom, but is now acting as a scout and encounters the party and their militia.
Finally, the normal amount for equipment is 2,700gp at third level, but I plan to start giving interesting treasure around the last three chapters.
