NarlethDrider - I'm only allowing one character of a monster-race, and a half-ogre is a monster race to me. If your going to play one, then I'll need to know which rendition of a half-ogre your using (or your own). If you don't have one in mind, then I'll provide one that I'm already OK with.
Thrarn Iranorn - How far in the future? Well, I'd say I want to be able to start looking at PC stat blocks and stories within the next 10 days, and I'd like to have them finalized at the end of that period. I'll begin the thread and the game immediately after that, but there will be a break period where I cannot post that can be expected around August 25th. I may not have internet access for a few days after I get on Campus.
For Druids, their abilities are similar enough to the PHB that you can use just that. However, certain druidic spells and such are specifically from the Scarred Lands.
Right, I'm alright with evil PCs, but only if they are obviously within the confines of a Heroic Party. Your character needs to be built for a heroic party, and that makes it difficult to have evil PCs. It's not beyond feasability, however, so I could see a single evil character being in the party. I'd need to be able to trust that player. Denev is probably the right choice for a Druid in this setting.
I'll provide some of the information about the setting as I progress towards starting this game.
