[QUOTE="Steve Gorak, post: 2397743, member: 15132"] Cool, thanks! :) Here is an update. I changed the stats so the character sould carry all his equipment. The backstory has been tweaked. Also, I made him a rogue 1/favored soul 2. I figured that being a member of an almost extinct race, it would be a good idea to be somewhat stealthy. Besides, I needed the ranks for preform (song). Finally, the character has 2 magic items that I need to get approval for: a hat of disguise (please see history). a ring with continual flame cast in a small compartment; if you close the compartment, the flame is hidden (I see this a small trinket he received as a child; I figured that since elves are a high magic people, it would be realistic for him to have this). If all is ok, the character sholf be ready to go.
