The world is ruled by balance. To balance men, there are women. To balance smart, there is dumb. To balance riches, there is poverty. To balance peace, there is war. To balance love, there is hate. To balance the heart of good, there is the heart of evil. To balance life, there is death. But most importantly:

To balance fire, there is water.
To balance earth, there is air.

But a balance is only good when there is a focal point to balance upon, and equal amounts on each side. These four main elements form us. They have shaped the world. If they were to fall out of balance, the world would soon perish.

*For anything that isn’t core, check with the DM first.

Is spell compendium allowed? Not sure if that's core or not.

Go for it. You're right, it's not core, but it's a good thing to have access to. Go right ahead and use it.

My current character ideas are either your typical halfling rogue, or a gnome sorceror. My last question for now is are ability modifiers the normal 10 is +0, 12 +1, so on and so forth?

Okay, I am interested too. Kevek one elven scout if you will accept that class from Complete Adventurer, if not a fighter..

@ Bez: Yep, that's right. The modifier is equal to half of the score, minus 5.

@ Brianna: Sure, scout sounds great. Glad to have you in the game.

@ Everyone. I'm thinking 6 people is a good size for this game. So, that's what I'm gonna cap it at.

Hey i'll give it a try, why not. I'm Dming one, and playing in another so I think one more game will be a good amount. I'll think of a character soon.

As soon as I finish my char for Jozan I'll make one for you.

The 35 point buy is just saying we have 35 points to distribute between the six abilities, correct?

35 point buy means the following:

All of your abilities start at 8, and you have 35 points to improve it. However, the higher you get, the more the ability points cost.

9-14 cost 1 point per 1 point.
15-16 cost 2 points per 1 point.
17-18 cost 3 points per 1 point.

This is before you apply any racial modifiers that you may have.

whew. I was about say my abilities are about to suckkkkk.

Thanks for clearing that up. Halfling rogue it is. Should have char to you by tomorrow.

i'm trying to think of a character for myself
and when i've thought of one.. i'll join you when i have got one sorted.. but my mind has totally gone blank.. i might need help..

computer had a small mishap, i have to start him over now.

Going to have to pull out, sorry.

Sorry to see you go Grugg, but I understand. Hopefully it's not too bad.
