wow, i sleep for 6 hours and miss 31 posts! I think this is gonna be a good campaign.
I ALWAYS want higher *L*, I'm used to 32 being an 'average' character, but then I tend to play higher powered campaigns when at all possible.
I'll see what I can do with 28, don't feel obligated to bump it up more just b/c of me.
As far as setting goes, I'm good with anything. My background will likely be non-specific as it is for most of my characters, able to fit into any world.
BTW, sources I'm thinking on using in case you want to veto any:
Completes (Arcane, warrior, adventurer, scoundrel, mage), PHB2, Races of the Dragon
