[QUOTE="Fenris, post: 4190784, member: 2820"] You're call there. I think it does the setting well though. Here is my character as a first draft. I need a few things t round him out, but I wanted to get your eyes on it so far. May I treat the staff you gave me as a quarterstaff? I tried to choose very subtle spells, things the elves would do simply and not think of them as magicalm but let me know if any are not appropriate. I still need an animal companion, I am leaning towards an eagle, for well many reasons, I think it's the most setting appropriate, but feel free to add some advice. And have we/you decided upon HP vs W/VP?
