[QUOTE="Toras, post: 1598599, member: 13626"] As a player, personality would entirely shape which way the character went. Fighters can be Warrior-Poets, or Leaders that draw upon their own appearance and seeming perfect to raise vast armies. Rogues can be Dashing Swashbuckler or Thieves of Unparalled Skill Clerics would likely be drawn to Gods of Achievement, Strength or Perfection. (Kord being one example) Bards - Harpers, etc. Wizards - can be battle magi or otherworldly as well. A tendacy not to specialize would be likely, (Bards with fighting skills), (Clerics of War or Weapon Prof), even Magi could be archers as well. I would not be suprised if other races are used to hype the inclinations. (Elven Thieves and Archers), (Dwarven Fighters or Clerics), or (Half-orc Barb or Fighters). Other races could be used as well, and optimised further. However this would only work if everyone had the 18's starting out. If it was just one person, that really wouldn't have been fair. As DM, I would give a +1 LA, just for CR calc and such. The backstory could be incredibly interesting. Perhaps a wizards was experimenting with creation, trying to fashion a perfect form for himself. You PC's are the first successes he had, and now you have escaped. Perhaps they are beginning upon the path of Paragon Status, becoming that which embodies their race. Perhaps they are marked by destiny or have been touched by the Gods. Maybe there is not connection at all, but the fact that you are similar. It would draw the party together (the why do I hang out with these people question answered) and it can give them a common back history with many possible plot points. [/QUOTE]
