My Gnome will be Tiny (with the resulting +2 to hit, AC, and -8 to grapple checks, and having to use a short sword in two hands) and will be +2 ECL. they will have -4 Str, +6 DEX, +2 WIS, no threatened area, +4 dodge Bonus to AC, 15 speed (10 in heavy armour), can speak with Animals at will and will have favoured class druid. They will look like "Kabouters". Which is what a Gnome actually should be.
My sorcerer is under construction... you can download my Work in Progress here, at the 14th post in the thread.

Ok ... I will tell you now, what you've all been waiting for:
Ilan told me: Diactum, take care of your fallen companion! I thought he ment, that I should check the enemy wizard out and that he or someone else would take care of Tristan, since I also have no healing powers at all, except for the regular heal check, everyone has.
So that was my motivation for not attending Tristan at that moment
grtnx Bacter

20.000 gp. Which I wouldn't spend till I have selected item(s) for you. Which I won't do until I receive a background. try and make it a bit more than how you acquired your classes - try and make it how you acquired your personality. Work in one or two NPCs (they may even be alive - gasp, or enemies!) and if you have any ideas for a ancestral/"cursed"/great gift from X/whatever item, put that in as well (no stats - that's my fun 
)
Any criticism you might read in here is unintentional - I just tend to get the same backgrounds from all of you:
Single Class:
I was this, then crap happened and now I travel the world
Multi Class:
I was this, then crap happened, I changed class, and now I travel the world
I am not kidding, this accurately decribes 90% of your backgrounds! Now there is something as letting a character grow through roleplaying, but these are 9th level characters... an "I just started" background seems misplaced in all but the most excpetional circumstances. Wulf for instance has been trained for years by his mom and dad.
I was pleasantly surprised by Jeroen's background because of this. Instead of crap happening, he made crap happen!
People who write backgrounds: Don't hesitate! Don't think I'll say no... outrageous backgrounds can be quite fun, and certainly can be viable at this level. If you feel like writing a three page background, go ahead. One style writing tip though: Don't try and be poetic. It often comes across as a cliche.
Holy Liberators: Why did your character become a holy liberator? Slaves abound in far away human lands, but not in the two neigbouring ones (note: Amstrad might be overregulated, but there is no way you can think of it as ruled by a tyrant). On top of this general cause, have a certain goal or two as well. Otherwise the non combat roleplaying can be boring (or aimless - like when I ask you what do you want to do and no one knows - I hate that - it makes it seem very irrealistic to me if all the characters want to do is loot dungeons and buy magical stuff).
Eh, this is my, what, third rant in an equal amount of days...? I must find something better to do

Ilan and The Tristan situation.
I have potions of cure with me, honestly what ninth level character that can't heal doesn't.
I told Diactum to help him, misunderstanding there, If he didn't have potions, I would have given him one.
Or use a healcheck, do something.
IC: Couldn't care less if he died a pain and slow death. To lawfull for me.
OOC: Take wasn't to upset that his character died so why should I be.
