I Am A: Neutral Good Human Sorcerer (5th Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength-14
Dexterity-14
Constitution-16
Intelligence-15
Wisdom-16
Charisma-17

Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

Taken from "Wolf Ceremony" Story by Cheif Dan George (1899-1981) In my song, I appealed to the Wolf to come and preside over us while I would perform the Wolf ceremony so that the bondage between my grandson and the wolf would be lifelong. I Sang. In my voice was the hope that clings to every heartbeat. I Sang. In my words were the powers I inherited from my forefathers. I Sang. In my cupped hands lay a spruce seed...the link of creation. I Sang. In my eyes sparkled Love. I Sang.

Ok I know I post this about every year, but its a true now as when I first posted it. :-D Enjoy. For some reason this has been on my mind for a day or so. No I'm not nostalgic to see people dangling from ropes at every town entrance, its more of the idea that once upon a time you could get enough people in a town to agree that they didn't like someone enough to take the time and effort to drag said person out to a tree an hang them. Seriously, that takes quite a bit of effort. Probably have to get at least 15 - 20 people together for it. When was the last time you saw 6 or more people agree to do anything? I guess what I'm more looking for is a time when people could agree that they either liked something, or didn't like something. I'm not talking about serious moral gray areas here, not like should abortion be legal or anything like that. I'm talking the no brainers here, murder, rape, theft, Nazi's, Martha Stewart, you know the big evils. I swear if WWII happened tomorrow after it was all said and done and they found out everything that Hitler had done there would be someone, somewhere that would stand up and start talking about how we need to treat him fairly because we might offend the rest of the Germans. (Hitler was Austrian, yes I know, not the point, move on.) I dunno, I guess I just wish people would actually get angry about something. Not as individuals, Light knows I see enough angry individuals everyday, but collectively. Americans get angry as a group and shit gets done, end o' friggen story. There are alot of people that say Americans are angry about things, the war, high gas prices, the fact that we celebrate Christmas and not every other freakin holiday that takes place on Dec 25. (Has anyone actually met anyone who is actually offended by the words "Merry Christmas" even if they do happen to be Jewish or something else?) Speaking of Christmas, (here's where I'm probably going to offend someone), I really think its truthfully two different holidays. On one hand we have the Christian holiday celerating the birth of the guy who live 33 years and was then nailed to a tree. I've never understood that, of all the things Christian Denominations can't agree on, they all agree that Jesus lived 33 years, hell even the Jews can agree on that. Anyway, moving on. The second Holiday is the American holiday dealing with trees, reindeer, snowmen, a fat man in a red suit, and the Royal Rumble(TM) that is Holiday shopping. On a side note, I love black friday, its one of the only times you can see four or five grown women wrestling over a GI Joe figure, and not need a roll of dollar bills to make sure they keep going. Its my personal belief that these two holidays are two separate entities, even though they share the same name. One is a religious thing, which is all well and good, and one is an American tradition, which is also fine. If you want to celebrate the two of them together, good for you! If you only want to celebrate the religious side, or the American tradition, whatever burns your Yule log. If you want to sit at home grinch style, again, thats your choice. The next person that tells me I can't display a Christmas tree or a nativity scene in my yard because I might offend someone....I wonder if they'd be offended if i beat them upside the head with a plastic reindeer.
