Will you be posting your general background in this thread, or starting another?

Now please correct me if I'm wrong, but Gnomes, coming from Nome, haven't actually appeared in the stories, just their representatives. Right?

I was looking at the shadocraft mage, and kinda like the earth dreamer.

Something like this:

sorcerer 5/SCM 5/ Earth Dreamer 5/X 5. Looking to use illusions exclusively, or almost exclusively.

Alternately, I'd like to play the bogeyman that you presented on failmax, the one with warshaper and granting negative levels. He'd be Good aligned and have no understanding why people shrank away from his touch.

I'd like to stay away from the Boogeyman for several reasons:

1. Mechanically, it just doesn't work as a good character, and I'm not really enthused about hand-waving Soul Eater into a non-evil class.

2. A character who feasts on the souls of others (deliberately or accidentally) really doesn't fit with the tone of the setting.

3. The Boogeyman's at a higher OL than I'm really aiming for with this game.  One of the major themes of the Myth series is that teamwork and cleverness--not raw power--get the job done.  Of the two major characters, one is a wizard with no magic, and the other starts as an apprentice wizard with minimal spells.  Although he gets considerably more skilled by the end of the series, he's never the kind of world-levelling powerhouse his reputation makes him out to be.

Most of this will be covered in the new post.  In general, though, take the base Druid as the benchmark.  If it's significantly more powerful than that, it's probably not a great fit for this campaign.  I won't say no out of hand, but it'll factor into the decision.


Gnomes (and the other default D&D races) will also be covered in the new post.  In brief: any default race from the PHB is fair game; it's just that some may not have the same name.  ("Human," for instance, would include Klahds and residents of quite a number of other dimensions.)
