go ahead and put it together, and I'll take a look at it.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Sorry about the delay in getting back to you on this.  It's quite permissable (which I'm glad you went ahead and assumed as much, in the absence of any input from me on the matter).Everyone:  In order to reduce the amount of time it's going to take me to determine everything your characters have, and can do, please identify the sources that you use for anything that isn't the PHB, DMG, or ELH.  It'll save me the time of going through four dozen or more books, trying to figure out where you got what and how it works exactly.Those of you who already have characters (in whatever stage of completion) posted - if you haven't already made them, I would be most appreciative if you would edit the post to put source references in them.  Just put a little parenthetical note beside each item, like (BoVD) or (SS), and then add a small section at the end of the post that identifies each of the sources you used.  This will speed things up on my end considerably.  Thank you!!!Moving along...Ok - I like your Transformation concept there - very original, and mysterious (I love mysterious. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )As for your questions:1.  That is correct.  Also, if you would be so kind as to indicate anything your character creates when you post the write up.  Are you wanting to create original items, or just to duplicate items from [insert d20 source here]?  Both are allowed, of course, but in the case of original equipment, I will naturally want to have a look at it and give it a stamp of approval first.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />2.  This depends on how you go about getting it.  If your character actually casts the spell(s) that bestow the effect(s), then pay the xp cost (and any gp cost) associated with casting the spell.  If you want to have someone else cast it, you'll need to pay the gp cost, according to that formula.  #Please indicate, for each permanent / inherent effect your character has, which method they used to get it. 3.  I'm drawing a blank on that for now, but if I come across anything (which isn't unlikely, considering the amount of homework I've got in front of me right now <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ), I'll let you know.This is something I should probably have answered a lot earlier.  For simplicity's sake, at this point, I'll simply use the guidelines in the ELH:  6,300,000 gp of starting equipment, with no single item valued at greater than 1,575,000 gp, and no more than 3 items worth more than 630,000.  I apologize to anyone who may have to adjust their character due to this:  I should have answered this question before people put characters together.Some other details regarding starting wealth: Any starting gold that you don't spend on equipment can be spent on land, titles, a stronghold, or various similar amenities.  If you're interested in things along these lines, let me know and we can iron out specific details.  Anyone whose character performs spell (or epic spell) research, item creation, or the like, will need to spend part of their starting gold on the necessary tools (laboratories, workshops, etc.), so let me know if you want my help in working out the specific details.Sorry I took so long on this - it turned out to be a lot harder to find an answer than I expected.  If you're still interested in the Paragon template, it appears it would have a level adjustment of +16.  It's ECL would vary, depending on the creature you applied the template to, but a Paragon Human 1st lvl. fighter would be a 16th level character, with an ECL of 28.  If you want to create such a character, let me know - I might have a special offer for you. djrdjmsqrd, none of the characters as of this point have selected Leadership feats, so I don't know if there will be any cohort spots available or not.  If you'd like, I can put you down as an alternate.If you want me to do this, just leave some way to contact you (an email address would be best) in the event that you're needed.GoldenEagle, I'll put you down as an alternate.  If you'll provide contact information, I'll let you know when we need you.Both of you might want to have a character created and approved, so that I can integrate you into the game more smoothly when you're called on.Ok, I'm going to take a break for now... I'll take a look at the characters that are up, and be back on here later today.  Anyone who still has questions, let me know.  Also: I would appreciate it if everyone were to provide an email addy that they check regularly, so that I can contact people individually should I need to.  Anyone who needs to get ahold of me can write me at:<a href="mailto:taron_skyreaver@yahoo.com">taron_skyreaver@yahoo.com</a> Oh - one last thing:I would appreciate it if the players would look over one another's characters, evaluate them as best you can, and give each other feedback on what you think.  Among other reasons, your characters should be quite familiar with one another; this'll be easier to pull off if everyone goes into the game with a good idea what everyone can do.  Also, exchanging ideas and opinions about your characters will help start to create a group dynamic.  Finally, if someone suggests alterations or adjustments at this stage, they can be changed; once the game starts, it'll be too late.I'm shooting for either this friday or saturday to get the prelude going, so keep up the good work, everyone!  I really appreciate everything we've got here so far!!! -DE</blockquote>
