I know D&D quite well, this is just a different setting with action points. Just explain the concept of action points to me briefly, and I'd be happy to join!As for a character, I'm willing to play whatever you need. Right now, it seems like the party is short an arcane spellcaster. You guys willing to work with a Necromancer (not evil, neutral)? That is to say, a Wizard specialized in Necromancy, but branching into a few other schools as well (whatever you guys think would be the most useful).Most likely, I'd play an Elven Aristocrat 1 / Wizard (Necromancer) 1. Basic history, off the top of my head? Something along the lines of this... Acted on a board of advisors for House Phiarlan (not dragonmarked, but reasonably respected), hence being an Aristocrat, and also received basic training in magic, which he showed a natural knack for. He was primarily trained in Illusion, but he took more of an interest in Necromancy. His interest in the art grew, he trained and studied almost constantly, and he began to move away from the typically "accepted" Necromancy into the darker sectors of the school. The other members of the House voiced some disapproval of this, but it never became a major problem (it just sort of weirded them out). His knowledge of the arcane earned the respect of House Phiarlan, however, and my character was called into service, working as a low-ranking officer and, well, Necromancer. He saw a decent amount of action on the battlefield, but his decisions and tactics (making some unneccessary sacrifices with his soldiers, occasional cruelty towards prisoners) were considered amoral at times. He argued that his decisions were made in the interest of the greater good, but he still made a bad reputation for himself. He still maintains ties with House Phiarlan, but he spends most of his time abroad, occasionally running errands for House Phiarlan, mostly studying his dark arts in relative secrecy.VERY rough draft, but it gives an idea. Let me know if anything needs changing, I'm fine with that. Alignment will be Lawful Neutral, and he has no beef with toeing the line between evil and good. So, if this sounds good, let me know, and I'll send some more detailed info via e-mail.</blockquote>
