This mirrors an elf character played in an RQ campaign I was part of when at University. The character was considerably more combat capable than the others at the start of the campaign and did at times overshadow the others.

This was well before the current knowledge of Aldryami was known and now the character would not have been able to be played in the mixed group that started the campaign.

The Baboon characters on the other hand were a source of much fun and amusement, one of whom managed to become the wealthiest baboon in Pavis, (he had a whole wheel and a bit of metal armour) which he would continually brag about. Still he started at a very low base so in baboon terms he was probably rich beyond the dreams of avarice. The other somehow managed to join Stormbull much to the disgust of his troop on his return home.

Just some random memories from long ago
