[QUOTE="Hella_Tellah, post: 5292235, member: 52669"] Thanks for the character sheet, Voda Vosa! I don't want to step on your toes if you've got a good idea going, but are you sure you want to play a character with a Charisma of 3? This game is likely to involve a lot of roleplay, and I don't want you to feel sidelined. You're definitely welcome to play a spectacularly uncharismatic character if you like, but I'm concerned that dumping Charisma that much could make the game less enjoyable for you. Interesting! I can't wait to see those ideas in play. :) I wrote up a few more Keys that are a little more closely tailored to the Planescape setting. Since they are the main way your character advances, be sure to consider what kind of actions and situations you want to see your character in often.
