So who could blame him when Firas quietly snickered to himself the day Tirandir lost his shortsword? Or, when he smiled at the sight of Tirandir's leathers shredded by a spiked flail?

Love it!! Things are looking cool, Clerics, Elves and Wizards oh my!

Thanks, Mike!

I assume that means at 2nd level, when we get spells?

Okay, dumped the MU in favor of a fighter. I tried to get a few things nobody else had in their inventory. The guard dog is in lieu of a man-at-arms. The music is, well, just because.

Dramorian "Dram" of Vessalt (FTR)

STR: 13 (Open door: 5-6, weight 75 lbs.) (+5% xp)
INT: 11 (3 languages)
DEX: 4 (-1 missiles)
WIS: 10
CON: 15 (+1 hp/HD)
CHA: 12 (Up to 6 retainers @ +1 loyalty)
STARTING STAKE: 140 gp

Dram

Chain
Shield
Helmet
Sword
Daggers x 3 (balanced for throwing, in chest bandolier)
Waterskin
Pack
--rations
--100' rope
--crowbar
--13 gp
Lyre (in a leather case, strapped to backpack)

Guard Dog, "Spaz"

Dram has headed out find fame and fortune with a battered set of armor and sword he got from a family friend. He struggled with learning archery and finally surrendered to the reality he couldn't hit a barn if he were inside it. The throwing daggers are because his practical side told him "slim chance is better than none". Spaz is an ill-tempered dog, there is nothing about this animal that says "pet me".

Dram has developed the habit of moving very deliberately in order to make up for his lack of dexterity. He always carries a lyre in his backpack. Due to the nature of his profession, he rarely plays it but when he does he favors elvish melodies; which he sings alongs to (in elvish, natch) with a passably good voice.

In addition to Common, Dram speaks orcish, elvish, and goblinoid. The orc and goblin tongues he learned from a former brother-in-arms, rumored to be half-orc himself. Elvish he learned to impress a local elvish beauty, an unrecquited love (to say the least).

Tonight I will create (and post) a spreadsheet summarising our little company, and then we can get started...

That's correct, clerics get their starting spell books upon reaching 2nd level. They can still buy scrolls with their starting money, and can still cast 1st level spells from scrolls, even at 1st level. They can't memorise any spells until 2nd level, of course.
