Good lord, don't any of your read the first post?!

Quote from: Senkennomei
The World
You are all to start as part of the clan Shuris, a society created through an alliance between multitudes of different races from ages past. Shuris is located deep within the Nal Forest, a vast expanse of woodlands so large most of you have never fully explored all of its wonders. While the clan itself is relatively small, it holds several uneasy alliances with the neighboring tribes, allowing many different creatures to travel freely between the groups with little more than nervous tension. The stones have not fallen yet, but are beginning to waver, causing great concern amongst the guardian clerics of Obad-Hai, the primary deity of the Shuris clan.

Put it simply, make up your own background. You haven't been outside the woods, but your character can be from another tribe, a member of Shuris, whatever. You just need to have a decent background explaining how he/she came to be what he/she is today.

Here we go...
Jurukin was born into a family of beggars and thieves. His family was used by an outside alliance to run an underground mill with the cubs. Jurukin was used to break into places to get materials. During the history of the udnerground mill, this secret alliance cut off its communication with the mill. Jurukin used this oppurtunity to escape. He eventually joined a spy gang, the Reverse Soldiers, and became a junior member. He wasn't privy to much of the information that the organization got but he did gather a few things they needed. He made some real friends in there including Reina (elf) and Doun (catfolk). A safe house was attacked while Jurukin was in it and Jurukin escaped but he had fairly concrete evidence that everyone had died except for Reina and Doun. He ran away and joined the clan of Shuris to escape his past. (How bout' that?)

Can I give myself Common as a language even if I can't afford it?  It's just that I foresee problems arising if I don't have it.

Which race doesn't have common? *Runs off and looks*

Wixman: That's a good background, you might want to think of a better name than that for the gang, and I would also like to know what races these accomplices are.

Okay, everything looks good, but I can't check over everything because I am currently out of state and I don't have my materials.

As for Common as a language, no, I won't provide it as a bonus language simply because you can always just Cross-Class Speak Language or invest 2 points into Intelligence. Worst comes to worst you can make an agreement with one of the other PCs to have your backgrounds intertwine and let the other serve as a translator.

Ok, I'll deal then.  Wixman's character speaks common anyway, so I guess he'll have to translate.  I'm getting Kalos to help with my character's name, and once I get that I'll put up my backstory.

Actually, I might, MIGHT have to shut down this campaign and transfer over to the one on the WOTC boards. I am holding a Pregame on it tomorrow and need to be focusing on that one. Fortunately most of the available races are the same (though the world isn't), so you can transfer your creations over.

The adventure line is more constructed on the other, as well as there being more opportunities for your characters to play in a high-magic setting.

Gnolls ARE available in the other campaign if my memory is correct, and you can play them right out of the gate without the racial class levels.

Well, I was getting used to the racial class levels.  and i really am not sure I could handle playing at WoTC, as they have so many restrictions, and there are players who would leave me in the dust.  since this is my first game, I was really hoping to play here.  I can give it a try though, if I must.

the WOTC game is now up and running, and is titled The Chronicles of Tiris.

You can also use the Gnoll progression if you would like.

Thanks Raelifin

EDIT: I put it up over there...  I hope I'll get to play...  Conveniently a tank, as I intend to go into barbarian/Ranger or Barbarian/Scout as I level up.
