[@tex] Thank you for the explanations.  It certainly sounds more encouraging than what your co-GM said which I appreciate. 

I'll keep all that in mind and I'll make a response on Monday or Tuesday. Sorry for the dely, I was distracted and uninspired. 

On another note I feel the need to mention that despite how capable Onweer may sound, it's her own ego speaking and not me desiring to make the most OP or badass character. I see RPing as a group project and innthe future if I make any mistakes I'd appreciate it if I have things explained to me patiently. I strive for realism just as much as you guys but since writing fantasy is largely a matter of imaginatiin on top of facts and the line is always less clear in players' minds than in GMs'.
