[QUOTE="Benlo, post: 5089031, member: 87611"] To start, I am new, but have been lurking for quite a while. This site has been a valuable source of ideas, information, and has helped me as I recently began DMing. That said, I am in a bind, and would like some help. This is based on core book information, so going to the homebrew section doesn't seem to be the right move. I am aware that for whatever reason threads can't be moved right now, so I am hoping my judgment was correct in posting this here. Thing is, my players are very into flavor, and ask a lot of questions, leaving very little for granted.
