Yeah I believe that's all standard procedure. As for combat resolution, I've always been fortunate enough to play with people who accept realistic outcomes given the situation. The few stalemates I have observed were settled by the GM. Anywho, is this allowing custom races, or are the usual suspects in place?

I was thinking of directly using the Forgotten Realms wiki for the races.

All must be humanoid, and no spider pets if you're drow. That's all I require.

These are your options (note: they are all and must all be human or humanoid!): http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Humanoids
