Just wanted to confirm, is the optional rule where you get an extra NWP slot for each language slot in play here? So, for instance, with an INT of 16, Daos will start the game with 8 NWP slots instead of 3?

Thanks Daos. Only thing missing is a paragraph or two of "backstory" essentially whatever you would like to share that put him on the road to adventuring. Then at this point still waiting for 2 more players and Horizons to finish up creation.

Sorry it took so long. Aside from being very busy, I had to edit it thoroughly. For one, it was way too long and complex for a module rune. And for two, I had to alter it to make it Greyhawk specific. =========================== Appearance: Daos is a male adult half-elf. He is thin and lanky in build. He has short, dirty blond hair. His eyes are hazel and his skin is very pale, suggesting he spends a lot of time indoors. He wears purple robes. Personality: Daos is an intelligent man, always seeking out new knowledge to learn about. He has a number of hobbies, including the arcane, but he takes an interest in the divine, as well. He also enjoys studying culture, language, and science. He believes knowledge should be freely given, and is happy to teach what he knows to anyone who shows curiosity. He's fairly altruistic. He has a great deal of empathy for others, having had a rough life himself, and hates to see others suffer. He won't stand for intolerance or injustice of any kind. When possible, he relies on the system for justice, but isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and take things into his own hands when the system fails to deliver. However, Daos doesn't take care of himself as well as he does others. Indeed, his preoccupation with fixing everyone else's problems may be, in part, a distraction from his own issues. He suffers from both anxiety and depression. The former tends to kick in whenever he has to face his family or his past. The latter tends to overwhelm him when he fails or things go poorly. More than anything, Daos just wants to live a happy life. He wants friends, family, loved ones, and to be treated with dignity and respect by others. Perhaps by facing his demons, he can begin the steps toward living such a life, if only there weren't so many obstacles in the way. (I'll put his backstory in a whisper below:) History: Daos was born in the village of Hommlet to a human father and elven mother. His father, Raveld, is a simple hired sword, usually selling his services to anyone who needs a bodyguard or watchman. He has little ambition, a black and white view of the world, and doesn't usually question things much.
His mother was quite the stark contrast. Sombra is an elven sorceress. She never spoke of where she came from, or why she moved to a small, predominately human village like Hommlet. Her entire past was shrouded in mystery. Perhaps it was that mystery that Raveld found so alluring, but they wound up having a child together, quite by accident, and that was how Daos came into the world.
The two raised the boy together for some years. Daos was rather intelligent, a trait he inherited from his mother, and she began teaching him the ways of magic when he was old enough. He picked up on simple cantrips easily enough.
When Daos was a youth, he first stumbled upon Sombra's terrible secret when he came across her during a private ceremony she was performing. It turned out, she was a devout follower of Iuz, and this is what led her to be banished from her homeland. She came to Hommlet because of the rumors of an old temple in the vicinity that she believed had a connection to Iuz. The ceremony she was preparing required the mixed blood of a human and elf. It turned out, Daos' birth was not so accidental after all. Sombra had planned this from the beginning, intending to use Daos all along.
With her treachery discovered, Sombra was forced to flee in the night. Nobody is sure what became of her after that, but Daos never saw her again. Personally, Daos believed she went to find that elemental temple she was babbling about at the end. He never forgave the betrayal.
Daos finished his studies under a local wizard in town, and when he grew up, he decided to leave for the city of Verbobonc to find himself. Having grown up between two worlds (human and elven, but also good and evil), Daos felt he needed to walk away from the past, and toward the future. He had many adventures in the city, and even fell in love with a human woman there named Kendra. They were together for a decade, and he felt certain that he was going to spend the rest of his life with her. But it all came crashing down when he discovered she was having an affair with a married man.
Once again betrayed, heart-broken and in a depressive spiral, Daos found himself in a bind. The home he had bought for the two of them was now too expensive for him all on his own. His only choices were to become homeless or return to Hommlet. So he chose the latter, albeit reluctantly. Let me know if I need to change anything.

Not sure if it is just me but your image doesn't load it just gives me an angelfire logo basically. Other than that I don't see anything wrong with the rest you have given me for a background.

It has been like three weeks since you posted the ad up in the Game Recruitment thread, so if anyone else wanted to join, I'd assume they'd have said something by now. So recruiting off-site might be necessary. Of course, Rax and Gravity displayed interest but said they were too busy. Maybe I could kick them out of a couple of my games so they have more time. They might not appreciate that, though.
