How vow of poverty works is: You retroactively gain all bonuses EXCEPT for exalted feats. If you take it at 3rd level, that means you don't get the bonus second level exalted feat. Everything else is good.

Elam's Cleft
Some background on the place the campaign will start.
The town of Elam's Cleft is a reasonably prosperous town on the Dawn Shore of Kythraen. It's name comes from the tall headland that juts out into the sea, in a long, craggy arc, giving the town an excellent, if small, harbor. A tall, dwarven built lighthouse crowns the headland, and it's beacon can be seen far out into the Endless Sea.
The harbor the headland creates is only large enough for perhaps a dozen ships, although it is rare that more then one or two are present. There are also a score or more of small fishing boats that make the harbor their home, mostly taking cod and haddock from the banks a bit further north.
The town itself stands upon bluffs above the harbor, and is home to about 850 persons, mostly human, with a scattering of halflings and gnomes. Most of the town makes it's livelihood in some way from the sea, though there are some farms as well. Trade comes from coasters running up and down the Dawn Shore, as well as a light trade down the west road, which, eventually, makes it's way to Whiteheart, the capital of the Realm of Kythraen.
Most buildings are of half-timber construction, with thatch or slate roofs, depending on the relative wealth of the owner.
The center of life in Elam's Cleft is the Cleft Chin, a tavern owned by one Wendell Calimorton, a former sailor in the Queen's Navy. The tavern is well known up and down the coast for it's cleanliness, the generally good quality of food and entertainment, and the willingness of Calimorton to stake a sailor with a few silvers till he can find a berth.
Other notable places in town are the shrine of Levia, Goddess of the Sea, a shrine dedicated to Vanar and Mahana, and a large, rickety wooden building called the Mercantile, that acts as a sort of combination of chandlery and general store, as well as providing occasional warehouse space when needed.

I take it that it is up to us to justify our being in Elam's Cleft? I was thinking that Larris might well have taken work as a marine if the waters near here are at all dangerous. The rigor and disciplen of shipboard life would have quickly worn thin and at a stop for food he might have decided to give up his contract and put ashore. Thus, he is newly arrived at Elam's Cleft and looking for work and or adventure.

That sounds reasonable.
So far as getting everybody to Elam's Cleft, I don't think any of the characters I've seen so far are likely to have any problem writing themselves into the place.
I'd be more then willing to help anyone with reasons to be there, if needed.

Well, If I had 15000, that would put me halfway between level 3 and 4.
To get me from lvl 1 to lvl 2 I would need 5000 XP, and to get from lvl 2 to level 3 I would need 6000 XP, putting me at a total of 11000. To get from lvl 3 to lvl 4 I would need 7000 XP, putting me at a total of 18000.
So if I had 15000, that would mean halfway to 3rd level, right? Or am I waaaay off here? If that is the case, I'll need to have a serious talk with my DM

You might wish to talk with him.
2nd level 1,000 xp
3rd level 3,000 xp
4th level 6,000 xp
5th level 10,000 xp
6th level 15,000 xp
In your case, because of your level adjustment:
2nd: 15,000
3rd: 21,000

I'll be posting the monk in a couple hours or so, but I will ask you for help on a reason for him being in Elam's Cleft. Sometimes I have a slight difficulty coming up with a good background for monks (typically all their backgrounds are rather similar, grew up in a monastary, was sent out into the world when final training was up, things like that).
Giving up the second level exalted feat is no problem for me. Thanks for that info.
