[QUOTE="Redclaw, post: 4264568, member: 53791"] Just to make sure everyone knows, this is not a first-come, first-accepted game. We're going to have to wait until Sunday for everyone, or almost everyone, to be ready to stat up their characters anyway, so I won't be making any decisions until then. It's no fun to say no to interested players, but if it gets me a great group of players, I'm happy. [B]Walking Dad[/B]--A cleric of Pelor would fit the town well, and I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the tiefling. If you don't like Pelor's goody ways (and don't forget, alignment is getting an overhaul with the new edition), the warlord is a fine submission. Can you give some background ideas for the character(s)? [B]pathfinderq1[/B]--Nice concept on the dragonborn. A strong-silent type with a touch of protectiveness. I'm a little less sold on the ranger. I would kind of like to stick to characters who grew up in town. I like the childhood friends venturing out together factor, especially with PoL. :cool: [B]Rolzup[/B]--I think I'd prefer to stick to the PHB races at this point. I haven't had much of a chance to look over the gnome's changes, and there's so much new wealth in the standard classes I'd rather explore those for now.
