[QUOTE="Mallak, post: 2671447, member: 37105"] Magic, Good but for a few items: Ships that go to Cecil to pay the Tide Tax deliver their goods in harbors surrouded by high fortress walls. Now, perhaps either A) they attempted to deliver the Tax during an unscheduled time and the ship was destroyed on the way there, or B) someone on the ship attempted to hold something back, and so the ship was destroyed on the way back. Now, the ship would have been rather large, and thus difficult to right (assuming it wasn't destroyed outright). Therefore, he clung to a piece of driftwood, perhaps made a makeshift raft. Now, if you go with your original story, then he makes it back, is disgraced and banished to the Mudab, and therefore must either disguise himself and hire on or stow away on a ship headed to the human lands. Alternatively, perhaps his makeshift raft got swept out to see where he spent many days and nights before being picked up by a human vessel. While elves are generally mistrusted, humans and elves are still trading at this point, so it's nothing that you [i]have[/i] to cut your ears over. However, if you'd prefer to blend in or make a break with your past, cutting your ears down is an interesting idea. If your goal is disguise, you might also consider pretending to be a young boy or a woman in order to account for your more delicate elven features. All in all, this looks good, and I think we're ready to start. The others can catch up with us whenever. I'll have a roll call in a bit, and if everyone's still around, we'll start no later than Monday. mps, Since I haven't heard back from two our our pending players, consider yourself in. If they show up later, great. If not, it's no real skin off my back. We'll talk more as the game progresses about what, exactly, "low magic ranger" means. Since you don't get spells until level 4, it's not a pressing issue yet. For now, assume that you advance as the non-magical ranger variant in the Complete Warrior book. However, since I personally feel that class is underpowered, we'll be adding a few things to it. [/QUOTE]
