[QUOTE="Urizen, post: 4678018, member: 11673"] Hey, thanks for the feedback everyone, great tips! These are the three sample adventurers (heavily distilled) that I have now. Gringarúk Shouts at the Sky is a disgraced paladin of Khall, the Storm Bringer. Banished from the mog-bashai tribe, Gringarúk seeks to redeem himself for failing to warn his tribesmen of an impending attack; a mistake which resulted in the slaughter of nearly everyone in his village, including his family. Gringarúk’s shame so deep, his need to redeem himself so profound, that he tends to take dangerous risks in combat. The fallen paladin secretly hopes each enemy he faces can bring him a glorious death, thus, redeeming his spirit in the eyes of his ancestors. Gringarúk is a fierce protector of those he adventures with, gladly placing himself in harms way to protect a comrade. Charra Raven on Her Shoulder is a tokkarri-ghodon ranger. When not on her own adventures, Charra makes her living as a guide, escorting would-be prospectors and other folk to the Hellfury Peaks. The ghodon dislikes large cities, preferring the openness of towns like Beggar’s Bluff to the stifling walls and winding streets of Scarrport. Charra’s closest friend is her raven — Chilkoo. As is typical of her race, Charra has a gruff demeanor when around others, but despite this character failing, the ghodon ranger has never failed to take those who trust where they wish to go. Jorl the Elder is a fire-aspected elementalist of the shar-karon tribe. While the more and more of the younger members of his tribe, craving power, venture deep into the Hellfury Peaks to learn from tiefling warlocks and forge pacts with hated demons, Jorl remains true to his ancestors, keeping the tradition of the fire elementalist alive in his people. The crimson-skinned ghodon stands ever vigilant against the growing menace of the tieflings and their infernal masters, even to the point of traveling with non-ghodon adventurers who, like him, would see the mountains made safe for others. -------------------- They're much closer to the PHB format, though I still think adding character class/level suggestions might be neat, if someone likes what they read enough to want to play the adventurer.
