[QUOTE="lotuseater, post: 2282657, member: 27029"] hey, i've updated my character with the full list of skills and their modifiers. i don't think i'm short any skill points. i assumed i was a sorceror first and rogue second, so that's how i came up with the number. as for the bonus skills, did you mean that we can get extra ranks in them? because i already have all the ones you list as class skills, so i didn't need to add anything. as to my distribution, i may tweak it as you suggest, but to be quite honest, i think that they are too concentrated in a few areas, rather than not concentrated enough. the way i see my character, and what probably didn't come across in my too brief description of his background, is that he has been trained in a number of areas, but has not finished his training in any one. i envision the elite protectors as an order of sentinels charged with protecting the interests of the nobility and ensuring peace in the city. any such organization would probably have certain members trained at getting information and performing their duties while remaining unseen, and that's the type of training that thaimon was receiving. i really want to emphasize his martial abilities, as a ranged fighter and someone who can strike quickly and efficiently when necessary. so he's something of a ninja type, but with some magical abilities as well. these aspects of keeping hidden have been further emphasized by his expulsion from the order and the influence of his uncle, who has been forced into hiding. both thaimon and his uncle want to protect the peace and prosperity of the city, but they have lost faith in the leaders, many of whom have given into corruption. as for the thieves' tools, i agree that they may be a little out of place. i really wanted to get a climber's kit, but i don't have the gold. but such tools could be useful for someone who's trained to get into and out of someplace quickly and silently. anyway, i have to run, so i will finish this later. if anyone has any suggestion on how i might tweak my character to better complement the group without completing ditching him, let me know. i'm open to suggestions. cheers, lotuseater [/QUOTE]
