[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 1803195, member: 19130"] Okay, then. First off, I've managed (finally) to update the missing documents to the Rogue Gallery thread. Second, I'm going to check out the format and character background of everyone who's posted completed characters to the Rogue's Gallery thread. Also, just in terms of blanket suggestions, you will need some manner of motivation to be in the city of Dromus when the campaign starts, preferably in a situation where being approached by a shady employer would be a [I]good[/I] thing. Yeah, I know, it's a cliche... On the other hand, Mr. Shady is actually DemonWolfZero's character, who's almost as ignorant as you are (and you haven't even started yet). :D You'll be picking up a plotline with two short-ish sessions already behind it, and Demon has the Plot Widget, and all the troubles that come with it. But I'll let him explain that himself once this starts. If anyone has the time and Google-fu to manage it, it'd be nice if you could follow Jolmo's lead and dig up an image for your character. A good place to start would be [URL=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/pc]WotC's character image gallery[/URL]. Also, before I post some more substantial rules, I need to check and make sure that 1 post every weekday is feasible for everyone. Speak now, or I'll probably be annoyed later! And nobody wants an annoyed DM... :] [B]@ Jolmo - [/B] As far as your background goes, I like it. Bonus points if you name the Caelder capital for me. :p I trust you'll come up with specifics as the game calls for it? [B]@ rangerjohn -[/B] I'd appreciate it if you used Jolmo's character sheet format, since having a uniform set-up will make it easier for me to parse the sheets. If it would be a major hassle for you, just tell me, and I'll take a few minutes to reformat it and post it here so you can just copy/paste it. For your three (!) Planar Touchstone feats, just list them like so: Planar Touchstone (Plane [Sub-plane]). The long descriptions don't need to be there, since everyone should have the document they're from already. If you want them there for personal reference, just say so and one of us can cut it down to the salient points. Your backstory is a bit sparse. Are you one of the players who like their story and personality to develop in-game from a minimal foundation? And finally, I checked out your skill points and such after your stat change. Looks good. :) [B]@ Zerth - [/B] Whoa. From a sparse backstory to an embarassment of riches! Consider being a little more specific in the demon in question - at least give me a name to drop! :D Most of the powerful outsiders and aberrations that attack the monasteries are associated with the Negative Energy Plane. Also, given my cosmology, a demon would likely not be banished back to the Abyss. This cluster of planes is at the far edge of the multiverse, well away from the Outer Planes (which are, oddly, more Inner than Outer in this case). [I]Plane Shift[/I], [I]banishment[/I], and similar spells do not have the power to reach all the way to the Abyss from Tila'kun. It would actually take something like 50 well-done [I]plane shifts[/I] to get there from here. Desolate? How so? In a desolate area (not many of those in Tila'kun), or is it a run-down monastery? Or something else? ...and has max ranks in Concentration, I see. Good deal! :) The "Desciption" section is good, but I did want to ask about one thing: most Tila'kun look Asian/Pacific Islander. Is this the case with Illira, or is she an exception due to her odd heritage? [/QUOTE]
