[QUOTE="Velmont, post: 2816782, member: 13739"] Great, I love my cache! I've recovered what I've written in the previous thread. Challenge, I don't mind. I've always favor games with good roleplay and challenge over one with a lot of combat and a master who is scared to kill his players. My character is just under here, take a look at it. [SBLOCK=Old Post]Here the draft. Far from complete and might change a lot until his final form. By the way, what is the starting gold of a Warlock?
