If you can't pick an NPC class so I can begin to picture the flavor or your background, then you can't begin to work with me to flesh out the world from "your" perspective.<br/><br/>If you won't describe how you are when you come "of age", then how are you ever going to become a fighter, or a wizard?<br/><br/>I've been told you want to start from 16 and another 18.  That's fine for this world, but these characters come from another.  Life is good, people have families, that range from poor to rich.  but you refuse to choose.  I only allowed the warrior class for slaves, forced to fight in the area.  They are either sons & daughters of slaves, or their recently captured.  Another use might be Half-Orcs.  You've had to fight all your lives just to eat, weather it be the scraps from the adults table, or the first to kill in a hunt.<br/><br/>With humans, by age 16-19, as Barbarian, Rogue, or Sorcerer; 16-21 as Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger; and 17-27 as Cleric, Druid, Monk, or Wizard you will have completed your training.  Half-Orcs as early as 15.  Do you want to have any say in how or why your training took so long?  I want you to experience your lives with me running your world.<br/><br/>The NPC class along with other things about how you see your character, will determine where you start in the world and who I have you meet.  How you interact with possible instructors will determine who trains you in your craft.  Perhaps you want a paladin, but you come from a small poor village, where the king periodicly searches every village for 14 year old children to bring to the castle for evaluation.  Taking you away from families that feed you scraps from the table because if they don't eat, there would be no way they could work to bring home any food.  However, you gets the same treatment at the castle, scraps and such, but there's more food in a day than you'd get to eat in four.<br/><br/>Before you are through, your racial (NPC) class will have 4 levels.  All hit dice will be rolled including 1st level.  There will be experience for training fights.  You will learn non-lethal combat you will spend time in the arena; or see what spells you are capable of learning.  Yes!  You heard me right.  There is a method of seeing if this character gets to learn any given spell.<br/><br/>This game will have several time units.  The minute, the round, the turn, sleep cycle.  Each rest requiring class needs two sleep cycles to memorize new spells, but may reuse the same set after only one 4-hour cycle..
