If we wanted to play a native to the area, do we need to pass that through you? <br/><br/>I was thinking of either a halfling ranger (eventually ranger/druid) who has taken an interest in the newcomers, or else someone with a past who has come on the voyage to start afresh and find new adventure--not sure on race/class for that one.<br/><br/>Oh, and on perusing the srd I was reminded of a semi-new thing with PF--traits. Are you going to be playing with those?<br/><br/> 8-)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Good questions, thanks!  Yes, well, every character has to be run through me anyhow... but yes, if you're considering playing a native, that's acceptable.  There are two drawbacks:<br/>1) you'll have to put in a little extra effort in providing some background about your native people... be it legends, religion, culture, etc.<br/>2) your native will need to have a reason to associate with the colonists, so have that in mind when writing your personality and characteristics.  I can try to help, but think about various instances with colonists and natives where the natives don't have broad-reaching infrastructure.  Like, think about the difference between when the Romans encountered Egypt vs. when they found the Celts.  Or when Europeans met the various native tribes of the Americas.<br/><br/>Lastly... traits.  I hadn't thought about them-- they're neat and all, but I consider them a little unnecessary.  If someone is DYING to have a specific one, I<em>could </em>say yes.
