[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3218721, member: 11146"] It's been a long couple of days. I thought I'd come here and check over character submissions to unwind a bit before I go to bed. In no particular order... Malvoisin, it may be that I'm just incredibly tired from a heck of a lot of business the past two days, but for the life of me I don't see ability scores for Baliss in your OP. I see that you added the background, good deal on that. A note on Gwyund. Though no doubt native Orrundians despise Gwyund for the invasion, Gwyund isn't the evil nation that Arrund is. Gwyund is more just trying to survive in a dog-eat-dog political world. As I see it, and I'm sure you'd agree given how you've written Baliss to be "misunderstood," Gwyund is a good match for Baliss. Rhun, Aledown. That's a good name. And for a halfling, at that. :) I like the hobbit-like flavor of Rowan. This may make some of you gag, but halflings to me aren't halflings. They're hobbits. To wit, they don't wear shoes and are entirely Tolkien in flavor. You all play 'em as halflings if you like, I certainly won't insist that anyone make their "halfling" a "hobbit." Just know that in my mind, I'll be thinking of 'em like hobbits. :p Good choice of Loeund for Rowan's background, especially given that Loeund is famous for apple growing and Rowan likes fermented beverages. Appled ale might be something he'd really enjoy. Did you have anything in mind for from where Master Graycloak might hail? Or where his estate might be? I was surprised to see that you took 16 Dex (well, 14, really, but with the halfling +2...) and 10 Charisma. From the description, it seems like you could have gone the other way. But, then again, you did write for Rowan that he was severely whipped. Good choice on Eschew Materials. I have a nasty habit of liking to mess with players' spellbooks. :uhoh: It's nice to see that someone gave up Evocation. And grease has always been one of my favorite spells. Shayuri, sorry to see you go. Hope it wasn't my choice of polymorph over alternate form that induced your goodbye, but if it was then I hope to see you around another time.
