Turn on the sweat machine

Okay Tut, you're a bushi who'll 'dual class' as druid. This means you *cannot* use druid abilities until you make 2nd level druid! So no spells yet pardner.

Actually what you want is spec in crossbow, not bow. That'll function as shotgun. Yes there are shotguns. There is tech of all sorts, but lots of firearms. Maybe not right here and now though. You can have a crossbow for now.

Your ability score swaps are fine. I dunno if druids get 10% bonus to xp, I think not as they're not a 'canonical' class. (I think only clerics, fighters, magic users, and thiefs get the 10%. Will check when I get back home and look in PH.)

Thren, you start with zero healing potions. Don't expect to find a lot of potions this campaign: the Potion Guild got Enronned.

...

Thaka, okay you're upper class. Take what you will. You can have a horse on the boat if you want. The Spanish did it, so that makes it OKAY.

...

Justin, be a priest of whoever you want, Apollo is fine. Character concept can be determined over the course of the game. Some of the characters from the first DiD game never really had a 'concept' in that sense anyway, they were just these dudes.

...

Theodore Koeppel is not officially 'retarded' as his IQ isn't that low. Whether he's functionally retarded remains to be determined.

...

Bon appetit, everyone, let's get this fucker ON.
