Lets try it, and see.I think you can keep your original concept. Tarren's father or mother was a cousin of Lumin, then it wouldn't be surprising for Tarren to have been taken in. I like the idea of Taaren being friends with Myrel. He could still be something of a tear-away, but perhaps Myrel's influence (or a feeling of responsiblity towards her) is giving Tarren reason to re-consider his life. An attachment to Myrel works ...I agree that 14 is only a few years from adulthood. But it still puts the character a fair way from the type of range and depth of skills of a regular starting character. I'm thinking 5 skills and 15 skill points. Give me a idea of the types of things Tarren is good at, I'll give you some skills. I'm thinking along the lines of Subterfuge (INF), Legerdemain (FIT), Stealth (FIT), Observation (AWA), Composure (--). Something like that.I also think I am going to get Give Tarren the a Child Gimmick. Children are generally not listened to in the way other adults are, and are other adults generally try and keep children from harm. But children are often underestimated by adults (+1D when trying to convince adults of your harmlessness or innocence, -2D when trying to persuade adults to take you seriously.)Crafting is the closest to Arcane magic of dnd. There are a number of skills, like Fabrica Mentis (manipulation of the mind) and Fabrica Sensis (manipulation of the senses). What sort of feel do you have in mind? Divinity is Cleric like stuff, and Totem is druid like stuff.thotd</blockquote>
