Feel free to pm me for setup questions . Also here ' s my current setup ' s not very clean but maybe it will help . <| sep |> I ' m mildly shocked to see the veiled , casual prejudice on the forum today against first casting . Examples ? <| sep |> I always hated the I ' ve done something back story . Unless you ' re starting at high level there is a slim chance that you ' re some sort of a somebody . Most likely you ' ll just be a town guard , an initiate into a mages college , just some bumpkin out in the wastes , etc . The one for my poisoner was my favorite , a child of an explorer family , they , including the child , were venturing out in the mwangi expanse when disease and famine thinned out their team . Finally coming across a nagaji tribe , the healer of the tribe tried to save the last few with much chastising from the elders and ignorant of the tribe but were eventually claimed . Thanks to the selfless acts of these last few the child survived , and was raised in the tribal fashion by the tribes healer . Eventually becoming a man he set off to his homeland , wanting to connect with his origins . the character had racial heritageNagaji and that ' s the way to explain it . Also he ' s an alchemist , explaining his knack with strange altering substances introduced by his tribal father . Again a way to explain why he do what he do .
