[QUOTE="Charles Rampant, post: 2287895, member: 32659"] Uhm, I cannot find the feat you mentioned on that site. It's not under feats, divine... am I missing something? :/ I've constructed the character setup irregardless, with a feat slot left open for that feat. It should be fully correct disregarding the effects of that feat - Wisdom primary, strength and dexterity secondary. Intelligence also secondary thanks to character concept. Skills are wierdly placed, but again it’s for the concept. I'll write the character out with explanations of all spells etc on character sheets for my own use if I get in :) The description from before remains the same but changes in the 3rd paragraph. No armour or weapons. As this is a city game, he carries no wilderness related gear for the moment, and will purchase food as he needs to eat. Name: Tote.
