There's some great art there! I had to use one of them for my character

Yeah I remember him saying that, I just wanted to know the degree of random. Maybe he meant swapping weapons/armor.

The items I roll arent guaranteed to be tailored to your character, but I am not going to heap a bunch of useless items on you either.

I could just make a party treasure list and have everyone pick from it, but that takes away a bit of (bargaining?) power from the individual player and may cause some arguments.

I may also give you the option of selling off some items you really dont want before the game starts.

I like this one for my character:

I changed my background information for Virashil, as the original one seemed kinda hokey.

I did, however, read on the WOTC website that the RHOD involves Tiamat and her draconic minions, so I did tailor it a bit to that end.

While I know it isn't hard information to come by if one looks, I would have at least appreciated a spoiler for those who didn't know about the module at all.

Background: Virashil comes from a small village of Elves deep in the Elsir forest,
<<snip>>

As it will become clear in the module there isnt exactly an 'Elsir forest' and elves are very specific in the region (and do not live in the forest nearby.)
Hence my stated preference for backgrounds to represent *not* being from the region.

Being from the the large forest in Elsir Vale or being an Elf from ther would represent a huge and unfair advantage, (or disadvantage in some parts) and could also would just cut out large sections of the adventure. (i.e. Nah! we dont need no stinking guide I grew up here!)

So the background is fine if Elsir Woods was replaced with <insert random name> woods.

Just putting the finishing touches on my elan psion application, and I have one last question: are you using the character Flaws option from UA? If so, Maysie would take the Noncombatant flaw and add the feat: Enlarge Power.

I am sorry I missed this question before now.

No, sorry I dont normally use Flaws for Extra Feats. Unearthed Arcana stuff is all case by case I guess. I know I like the Racial Paragon classes....But dont use the book that often for anything else.

That is fine- I've actually seen very few GMs use those rules, so I wasn't counting on it. In that case, the character is actually done.

I don't have a problem of being from a <insert random name> woods somewhere in the land, just somewhere near some mountains -- I had just wanted to create a background that would somehow justify Virashil's involvement in the campaign.

As I can see how it would be annoying to be in the position of "Hey DM, I am from here, so draw me a map, since I played in these forests when I was growing up".

Anyway, when do you think you'll be done with the character selection?
