Careless editing, or evidence of house ruling within the hallowed halls of Lake Geneva itself?! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> I don't know whether any of the others have been verified, but Illysio Morningstar at very least was an actual PC of Steve Marsh -- he sold off the character sheet on an ebay auction a couple years back (and it was discovered that, among other things, she had a 3 Wisdom!)</blockquote>
