I'll likely be playing a Human Wind Witch. One problem though. I don't own the print version of AU, only the pdfs. Are DMG items ok? Or should I limit myself to items from www.diamondthrone.com ?

Morning everyone.
Looks like the game's filled up nicely. I'm going to play a Fox breed Sibeccai Totem Warrior, though, I have not yet decided what animal my totem will be. I will take at least one level of Sibeccai, though.
I do have two questions: Are we assumed to already know each other, or will we be meeting as the lead in to the game? and
Are we only using the Totem Warriors (and witches) from the core rule book, or are the user designed ones on Monte's forums also available?

Only two of any race, eh? Hmm... that's fine. I was definitely looking forward to my human akashic, but since both the humans are taken, as well as the class, I'll go with something else. 
No matter. I definitely have some other thoughts in mind. I've been thinking about a Verrick Wolf Totem Warrior for a while... I think I will go with that. I hope scouting/tracking will be useful in this game
Edit: Two things: One, thanks for letting me join! And two, I'll get my character up late tonight or some time tomorrow. I have two 10 page papers due tomorrow at 12, so I'm cranking those out today.

If you want to check out the Witches too, go ahead. I wouldn't be too opposed to some of the Alt. Witches either ... Song Witch has some possibilities if I remember.
I could throw you a link if I wasn't supposed to be studying right now (damn school computers not having my entire file library!
)

Don't think I'll be going down the racial level path either. But I just want to clarify and make sure I understand the house rules
1) So non human races get 3 feats, and human races get 4, correct? What kind of feat is it? Ceremonial, Talent, General, or any of the three? I'm assuming General, but it never hurts to ask
2) What do you mean by "free?" Do all characters start as Racial 1/Class 3, effectively making them 4th level characters? If that's the case, couldn't we just say everyone starts at 4th level?
Just trying to make sure I understand the rules. Thanks Narleth.
