Melee 5 is really kinda pushing it, Muse -- your background makes it seem like your character spent far more time learning and doing things other than combat.  Creeper may disagree, but come on -- this is Mage/Changeling, not Exalted.  (Besides, the Seven League Boots already make you absurdly good in combat.)<br/><br/>By the way, Creeper, I think I may just finish up my character after all.  I find I've got plenty of time, so look for a more completed background in the next few days once I figure out what I was doing.
