It's pretty straightforward, Juggs.  Very glad to hear from you.<br/><br/>Let's see, I think we we now have three of the four classes, and you are one of three who hadn't sent a character concept yet.  What we're missing as a character class is a Griot--a bard.  not necessary, though.  There's no reason not to double up on classes, and the background you choose can let you fill different rolls.<br/><br/>Want to do something like the thief/rogue from D&D?  Take a sneaky background and the warrior class.  How about a ranger or a druid?  Take one of the more woodsy backgrounds and add Warrior or Marabout.  :)  Our Marabout is a very spiritualist healer, wise and learned with understanding of the ancestors.  What if you want to play more like like the old AD&D clerics inspired by the knight's templar?  Take a warrior background and play a Marabout from the Sun Faith.<br/><br/>Or maybe  you want to do someone like the Bladesigners from the Complete Book of Elves, or the Eldritch Knight from 3.5.  Ask M.P. about the NPC he didn't bring in.  There's a amazons who use massive swords called Great Razor's.  Most of the ones who actually belong to that order are Warriors, but you can have the basic training from that order, join a different character class, and become a Spear of the Dawn.
