[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 2576790, member: 7006"] Here's my character for you, Lazlow. He's a bit odd because he's a martial character in the midst of all these spellcasters, but I thought it'd be fun to have at least one character who wasn't smart. At all. In fact, he's so dumb that he can't even cast spells. But don't worry, the reasons for why he is even at the Academy are all explained in the bio. I know this kind of goes opposite of what I think you were thinking the group was going to be... but I figured what the hell? It was fun to try and create as close to a martial character as I could giving all the restrictions. So as a design exercise for me, it's been great. So I hope you like it, but if it goes too far astray from what you wanted the party to be like and thus can't select him... no worries. It's been fun to make him regardless. Thanx!
