In response, Marc reached behind the screen with a printedifferent dragon on it and rolled some dice.<br/>"OK", he announced. "You know the following spells: Charm Person, Detect Magic, Light, Hold Portal, Read Magi, Sleep!"<br/>"LUCKY!", Paco boomed. "Sleep allows you to put a number of enemies to sleep! It's a life-saver! You should have your character memorize it as her spell for the day."<br/>The guy seemed really enthusiastic...<br/>"You must also choose whether you are Lawful, fighting for goodness and civilization, or Chaotic, and fighting against it", the DM added.  "Or maybe Neutral, and out for yourself. Those are boring...which is why Paco always plays them. You have a magic book, tyree gold pieces, whatever medieval clothes you want...and that's it, you are ready to go! As soon as Josh is ready...what are you going to play, Josh?"<br/>"With those rolls he's eit her a Half-elf gish, or I don't want to know him", Paco answered before Josh.

Daria, you also need an alignment, but obviously, not spells. You have a leather armour, a weapon and shield or a two-handed weapon, and either a bow, a sling and bullets, or three javelins, and five gold."<br/>He looked them over.<br/>"Now, you live in a Middle Ages - inspired fantasy setting...except magic is real, and gods perform miracles via their chosen prophets. There is a City-State, but your charactersstart in a smaller barony,known as the breadbasket of the place. However, since you are all working together...tell me how your characters met, and how they decided to be a team with Ugly - Paco's character is always hiding his scarred face, in order to avoidfrightening the kids - and a combative mystic from the Far East part of the setting..."
