[QUOTE="Dawn Raven, post: 4556547, member: 80176"] [b]Warlords Hurrah![/b] Well that works! The only class I truly had no desire to scoop up was paladin, mainly because I am currently playing one in a IRL game and want to try out so much of the new game erm...stuff? I hate that word.. Primarily, the news of a leader shortage is -quite- exciting. You can expect an incipient story to burgeon within my tiny brain shortly for a warlord. Now, I in no way wish to impose upon anyone, but perhaps this information would be very helpful to those of us seeking to create new characters for the L4E. Perhaps a rundown of class, role, and race could help establish or at least narrow down, the creation of a unique and intriguing story that would add something to the world. This said, I had written a short background previously and would like to seek aid on altering it to fit the warlord class. It was previously intended as a rogue (which I had seen there were but three of) but I have yet to try a leader and am equally up to the challenge.
