renau1g - Yes, we've lost 2 so far 
Shayuri - yeah, they're acceptable.
Fangor - hmm, you're still not getting it: The weapon and armour I'm giving you take up your "Weapon" slot and your "Armor" slot.
You're restraining yourself too much to following the exact slots of a human and trying to put them onto a non-human. You've still got bracers, amulet, vest, gloves (Maybe fingerless?), cape (Maybe some sort of wing caps?), hat/skullcap/circlet, goggles/glasses..
or you could start adding magic item abilities onto allready existing items, as per the DMG.
Also, what's your character's fighting style going to be like? How do you contribute during combat(Healing, support, attack??), and what general theme do you want your weapon/armour to follow?
Greenstar - What do you need specifically, I thought your character was mostly done, just waiting for the weapon/armour item from me?
Reveille - Any news?

Ok so really quick idea I'll throw out there for the White Mage, a cleric/abjurer -> going to Mystic Theurge? He can utilize the healing of a cleric with the party defence spells of the abjuration subschool. Any thoughts? I've never played one before and thought starting at 10th level I'd have 4th level spells of both Wizard & Cleric, plus the robe-wearing would fit better in the FF world than the white mage in plate mail.

Yeah. I think I've dipped my hands into one too many games. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to withdraw.Jemal said:

Ok, on that note, are you allowing this guy to wield a weapon and armor? I think that was my main worry, as he has natural attacks, and would only probably be able to wield a dagger as a weapon. I'll leave that up to you then, for the weapon and armor, and I will spend the rest of the funds on the amulet, vest, gloves, cape, etc..
That does clear up a lot of my worries. As for the fighting style, I gave him flyby attack, hover, and the ability to fight and fly, which he will try to stick to. Perhaps a lance of sorts, or a longspear for his size would be best used, for use of reach and effective use of his feats. He'll be more of the hide and dart in to attack type, and try to get away before being retaliated on. Hit and fly tactics, use of his aura as needed, and keeping the others warned of all danger around (blindsense, darkvision and telepathy go a long way!).
I can't make up my mind!
Rather, My housing problem seems to have been solved much more easily than expected. Parents took me in until the end of the month when I'll.... well, without boring you my internet problem is fixed.
I've posted in the In Charachter thread. If I'm out I can take it down, but in the meantime I'll finalize a propper background and spell list.

That's good to hear, Belle.
Fangor: Dragon Shamans are proficient in simple weapons, and IIRC both spears and longspears are simple weapons in 3.5, among other things. I dunno if pseudodragons have humanlike dexterity with their "hands", but who knows? It's possible. It'd be kinda funny if the pseudodragon was a 'dragoon' of sorts, but of the kind that doesn't actually land after jumping, just buzzing around all over.

Yeah, I reworked the character creation, thought of taking the first level of Pseudodragon anyways, as he's in need of those skills. Spot mainly, so that he can use his flying ability to the max, as a scout of sorts.
I lose one level of Dragon Shaman, but that doesn't affect me much. He's going to be a flying guy mainly, as I removed Hover and took Improved Flight to get him up to perfect flying, which rocks! Also, with the items I took, his flyby attacks should be interesting, as well as any chases that might occur in flight. They will have surprises in store for them! I figure he will use his flying with breath weapons, then use his bag of boulders to pelt the foes from above, while his breath attack replenishes. Then, its attack again. I have a few other options for fighting, but we'll see how that works out.

So, as you can see, he's got some flavor for now. I have 4300gp left, thinking of getting +2 to some stat, or more items to use, such as another bag of boulders. I worry about the weight, as those bracers come in at 5lbs, although with DM leniency, perhaps those weights on some items/magical items could be lowered for his tiny size? Your call, but with a weapon and armor, it will be interesting. He can't fly with anything higher than a light load without trouble.
This is the Monster1/Dragon Shaman7 option, to get more Spot ranks and better view from above. I still have the Full Dragon Shaman8 option saved on another sheet, in case Jemal doesn't like this option. Would you like a little more background as well? I have something in mind, but would like to clear these options on the character first.
Thanks!
