Like I told Zeroth, you're free to make whatever changes you want to your CS at this point, since nobody's getting "officially" accepted until the OOC goes up. If you want to swap careers, you can do that freely at this point. After your sheet gets accepte though? Then you'll have to go the Remram-way and actually learn and train new skills.

@Expendable
There's no set standard for tomes, and they're really only called that because fancy wizards and sorceres with big egos are the ones who wrote them. They're just 'books' really. And as for an entire book being needed for, and to learn, a single spell? Suspension of disbelief is my answer there.
Sometimes I think my brain just shuts down and doesn't work. I have no idea why I thought he lived in Building 2. Ahm sorreh. T-T
Been emaning to ask...
Is there any particular reason Max lives in Building #2? Like, he's a human, so it would make sense for him to stay in the first building. Is there an actual reason this isn't the case, or was it more just "for the lols" and that it'd be funny to stick the poor guy in with all the night-terrors? :P

Also, go on Qaymu. Beat her ass!
Thanks for being good little noodles. :)

On the topic of the OOC:
It should be ready tomorrow, sometime during the evening (my time, which is CET or GMT+1), if I keep up the pace I've been going at thus far.
Gwah, so many new CS'es to look at. Damnit people, why can't you take your time and fiddle around with them some more or something...

Anyway, time to move onto opinions:

@Cyrania
I'm sorry I missed your sheet from earlier.
But the elven adventuress seems charming and fun to me. There're no problems with her sheet either. :)

@Rune_alchemist
Frightened Farmer Female seems fine and all. Just be aware that, as she doesn't have any Magic Element-training (in her skills), her "spell" won't actually... Y'know... Do anything. Other than that, she seems perfectly fine.

@Crowvette
The only issue I have with Varisse are her spells and their properties. This isn't any fault of yours though, but rather an issue of me not explaiing to everyone (yet) how magic works.

Generally sopeking, whether it is a spell learned from a tome or a spell from a staff/wand, a spell can only do ONE thing. There are no "manipulation" or "amorphous" spells that can be used for both offensive, defensive and utilitarian purposes. If you have a spell that creates a small area of darkness, then it will just create a small area of darkness - it cannot turn things invisible or effect the surroundings. Likewise, if you use a spell that creates a firebolt, you cannot turn it inot mutliple projectieles or use it as a torch. Well, I guess you could hurl it down a hallway and follow the light with your eyes, but it'd go out as soon as it hit a solid object.

Other than this, she herself is fine in terms of everything else.

@Remram
Chef McDwarf is fine. However, please do list what material his weapon is made from - as most everyone else has.
Other than that, he seems... Quirky...

@Sho Minazuki
Mr. Breaking-the-Law is alright in terms of his persona, history and skills. but, as with our dwarf up there, do list what material the Throwing Knives are made out of, as they're a weapon.

Also, as he doesn't have the "Fire Magic" skill, I'm afraid your outlaw isn't capable of casting that spell of his. Unless you're willing to sacrifice one of his other skills and replace it.

@Expendable
Minstel looks alright, except for the same issue as our fugitive above. His weapons need to be specified what material they're made from (for the dagger) or what quality it is (for the sling).
And again, without any skill in a Magic Eelement, I'm afraid his Darkvision-spell isn't going to work. Also, Adept level and Journeyman level are the same level of expertise.
- Novice
- Apprentice
- Adept
- Expert
- Master


Phew, I think that's all of you. @Mistress Dizzy hasn't finished her Island Dwrf yet, so I'll hold off on commenting on them for now.

I should go on to explain some things about how spells should be listed.

A spell start with it's name, then it's element and then it's level.

So, for example:
Wind Cutter, Air (Adept)

The first part is the name. The second is what element it uses, and lastly is the level of knowledge in spellcraft needed to actually cast it. I made it this way so that I could easily look at peoples' spell-lists and see what element their spells are, without having to read the description every time. I'd really like everyone to try and follow this uniform pattern if they intend to use magic.

Likewise, weapons and armor should always be specified what material they're made out of, or what quality they are (ifthey're a ranged projectile weapon like a bow or sling or crossbow). For example:

- Copper Breastplate
- Iron Longsword
- Simple Shortbow

Or

- Hide Gauntlets
- Mithril Spear
- Fine Heavy Crossbow

Obviouslt, you lot don't get tos tart with fancy mithril or high-quality items, becuase part of this RP is gathering or finding stuff and making yourself STRONKER. But it also serves to show at what "titem tier" you're at, and if something you find or want to buy will actually be an improvement or not when you find it.

If you just specify that you've got a "battle axe", then how can you tell if the "iron battle axe" you found in a dungeon's treasure chest is better or worse than what you already got? After all, you don't even know what your old one is made out of! Wood? Clay? PLASTIC!?

And now for the issue brought up by @ERode. We got a bunch more of you here than I'm capable of taking on and along for this journey. However, since not everyone has finished their CS'es yet, and the OOC isn't up, I'm not going to start trimming down the cast just yet. Because there's no need for me to do so when things aren't ready and properly set up yet.

So, to those of you who've yet to make a CS or are worrking on one. Don't worry, you still have time. Once the OOC goes up and you all inevitably post your CS'es there for a proper review and analysis, then I'll start the process of cherry-picking.

But, until then, enoy each other's cmpany. Form pacts. Gossip. Make bets on who'll get in or who won't. Iunno. I still got an OOC to write up.
@Dragonydas
Awww, elf-chan~
She looks fine and seems just dandy to me. :)
Even when I copy straight from the CS, I run into errors. Ugh.

I run into that issue too, more often than not.
Especially when people make overly complicated CS'es with things like tables, rows and cell-code... Ewww...
I think it might be as simple as you just not having the 'hider=' bit in your Appearance-brackets.
@Mistress Dizzy
Me doth believest that thy BBCode hath rebelled against thee, me fair lady.
I'd be interested.
Can there be some ghostly stuff going on?

That depends on what your definition of "ghostly stuff" is. We got a sword who gained a soul and the ability to talk after lounging around on a display rack for 100+ years. So that's a tihing.

If you're going more for the:
"I can see the dead and communicate with them"
Then no. Because that'd make them undead. And undead are monsters. And monsters are bad. For non-monsters, that is.
