Players' Club feel free to use this thread to discuss things focused on Character Generation. It can be questions about level change or for discussions on new characters.
You can speak open mic...
I think it is a better place to talk so that if we make decisions about character mechanics or background or storyline related to the characters, we will be able to find it easier than sifting through the entire Admin thread.
PMs can still work, but I've found that those too are sometimes difficult to find later if I want to go back to them as reference.

I want to extend an offer to reach out to me if you have any desire to adjust old decisions on Class capabilities or maybe other powers that you started on one route and then later sort of went another.
I'm not promising we can change anything and everything, and some things will be off limits (Ability Scores, Feats - Class selection- Ha!), but I'd hear it out of you want to consider tweaking capabilities to fit a style that has emerged more than the one originally envisioned.
Example: I reached out to Ez (he did not propose this idea, I did) about the possibility of changing Kray's Fighting Style. At CharGen Mar 2017, he had picked Archery. Along the way in story, Kray has been more of a stand-ground-hold-the-line melee fighter who focuses on dealing out strong damage with a primary one-handed weapon. So I wondered if Dueling might really be more explicative mechanically of Kray's actual trends. I asked him about it. He thought it over, felt it would work well, so he's implementing the change here at the shift to 8th level.
Anyway, not sure if there is any interest for something like this for anyone else, but I wanted to put it out there in full disclosure for that change and also to open it up to others if another adjustment may be worth a sales pitch. Again, can't commit to saying yes to any idea, but the more it makes sense in the realism test and the match to real character trends that have been heavily practiced, the more likely we can implement a change.
