Level 12-14.Davy Jones - Pirate or Freebooter.  Aberration (&) Undead?  Level 14-18.Tia Dalma - (Hell yes, she's HOT).  Scholar [Sorceror] or Witch from Green Ronin's Thieves' World Player's Manual.  Level - harder to guess, but I'll say level 12-15.  Obviously, NOT using D&D's Vancian magic system.Azgulor</blockquote>
