You’ve chosen Point Blank Shot as your level 1 feat and Spell Focus as your bonus DM feat, right?Other than that, He’Rak looks good.  (How do you say that, phonetically?  I keep thinking “He Rack”)  One question (ok, a second question), Since He’Rack didn’t “go adventuring”, was he raised in Tev’El Rhoe and if not, how did he come to Tev’El Rhoe?  You can have Thalas live there and be from there if you like… I just want to know so I can place him in the world.  (And, if he’s not from Tev’El Rhoe, I need to give you some info on another city… but being half elf, Tev’El Rhoe is a perfect place for him to grow up.Tonguez There are some nice wilderness areas around Tev’El Rhoe, though it is a light forest/foothill region.  The thickest wilderness in Enber is Thel’Luthia, home of the Elves.  The region of Thel’Luthia directly north of Enberton (the human capital city) is a great place for a human to grow up… humans near by, not heavily populated by elves and still a nice thick forested area.  One last area is in south eastern Enber, along the mountain range there.  But this area has no one living there and is filled with wild animals and used to be controlled by orc tribes before a “hero” nearly destroyed all orcs in the area a long time ago.  No one ever settled the area except along the great Lake Enber, nearly two hundred miles north of the area.  This is probably not a good place to hail from.You *could* go one step further… Oddly enough, right up the same river that Tev’El Rhoe sits on is a huge waterfall coming down the massive cliff like mountains.  Up the river from the waterfall is an area called “The Glade” where a tribe of barbarians basically live.  They know little else beyond the Glade and rely on it for their survival.  The rugged mountains are basically little more than massive, jagged rock with little vegetation of any kind.  It is a very harsh life for the barbarian tribes (These are more a race of humans than the barbarian “class”) but they get by.  It could be that Erlik is from this area (Your feat and skill selection suit this perfectly) but when he showed signs of his psychic abilities, perhaps he ran away from home and came to Tev’El Rhoe… the odd thing about this, if you chose to go this route, is that there is a character in my novel who does exactly this (though, he is a barbarian as a class, no psychic powers.)Korbin of Valenar What are your two free, permanent “class” skills?  (They can be skills you have as a fighter or skills not on your skill list)How much gold did you spend and how much is left over? (I’m to lazy to look it all up)ARGH!  Something I neglected to tell you guys about… there are no horses in Enber (This brought about a bunch of laughs and giggles when a character joined the game who bought a horse… for some lame reason, I let him keep it… but Deadestdai began calling it a “Cow” because the characters had never seen a horse before and didn’t know what it was.  Now, this provides me with incredible joy as I get to call Deadestdai’s horse in one of the EnWorld adventures that we are playing together a “Cow”… nice inside joke that the rest of the group is probably wondering about..Sorry… This time, I’ll have to stick to my guns and disallow the horse.  On the plus side, you’ll have a ton of gold left for buying more stuff.  Sorry I didn’t mention that earlier (like in the freakin’ character creation thread)An absolutely wonderful history for Korbin that fits well into my world.  You mention he was from a “border town”… the best place for that would be a town called Tallrun on the eastern shore of Lake Enber.  This town sits on old Orc territory and faces several raids by small bands of orcs.  Though, the orcs in the area are unorganized and tribal, lacking all of the power they once had a long time ago before a “hero” organized an army and nearly destroyed them all.  Tallrun is significant because it makes the most precious of all wines in Enber, Royal Blue Enberberry wine.  (Enberberries are fat, blue berries that have an almost addictive flavor, they are so good.  Only near Tallrun are the special “Royal Blue” enberberries grown (a naturally occurring phenomenon) and Tallrun has a healthy merchant market, easy for your character to pick up the work in your history.   Knight OtuGreat history… the only problem is timing and distance which you could not possibly know yet because I’ve not gotten things started with the beginning of the adventure nor been able to post the map (Its too large a file to post on EnWorld, but just a little bit.  I’ve got to install Photoshop soon and reduce it down 5% or so so it will fit and you guys can all see what the heck I’ve been yammering about in regards to locations)For now… leave your character history as you’ve written it.  I think once the game gets started, you’ll see a better way to fit it all in and modify it just a tad.  No worries.  It is a good history that fits well into this adventure and gives Sel’Tarien great motivation to go on.Oooo masterwork Studded leather!</blockquote>
