[QUOTE="BRP2, post: 3193496, member: 47499"] I'm interested in this campaign if it is not too late. At the moment I'm too tired to write up the character any further, but will do so tomorrow. Lenindal of Old Fables Male (Lightfoot) Halfling of the Western Heartlands NG BRD1 Excuse me, but how is starting money going to be done? I'm going to assume everyone is getting a regional bonus equipment and feat. EDIT: Here is the background / personality of my character. [Sorry if it's a bit long] Lenindal was born in Corm Orp of the Western Heartlands 25 years ago on a full moon. For whatever reason, they said his birth was a cursed one.
