[QUOTE="Volaran, post: 1293935, member: 592"] The character I'm planning on playing for the campaign my regular DM is starting up next month is going to be a bald, shaved, dwarven sorceror. His original story isn't so unique. He's going to have been a former fighter (and his first level is in that class) and a middle aged former officer in the dwarven military. An attack by powerful otherworldly creatures left his clan dead and him badly energy drained, but awoke within him burning, painful feelings in his veins. He's shaved his hair and beard off in a ritual forsaking clan and honor to mark his quest for redemption. Along with the other characters, we'll be in a sort of fantasy equivilent of the Foreign Legion. Everyone from different backrounds, exiled for one reason of another. He's not exactly a charismatic fellow. My DM is fond of Hammer and Helm, so he allowed me the Stoneborn Sorcery feat, which makes Con the sorceror's spellcasting stat, but prevents the learning of Enchantment magic. I rather liked the idea of a clean shaven, subdued dwarven character rather than the typical bold variety. Also, given that in previous campaigns in his world I'd never even heard of a dwarven arcane caster, I expect to take many foes by suprise. [/QUOTE]
