Is there a scroll version. With 4 Strength, scrolls have been homemade over "heavy" 1oz potions. Something like a quick release scrollcase (that doesn't weigh much itself.
There is, it's called a Scroll Organizer. It works like a potion belt, but for scrolls instead (free action to pull out, don't have to search for correct scroll if it's already in the Organizer).
It's seriously handy.
By the by - My character's not done yet, but I'll hopefully have some time at lunchtime today to get it all finished. I just need to buy gear, basically.
Oh, and Prime? Take your time mate, RL always needs to come first (even if it sucks).
Ahhh.... come on. Feel free to venture an opinion. I figure that the more that the rest of the group enjoys the other characters the more fun had by all. That being said what character pulls to you more?
Okay, I'll vote for you running a Telepath then. I'm definitely heading down the Rogue path at this stage, and will most likely be throwing in a Soulknife (or perhaps monk) level or two for good measure (eventually aiming for the Thief-acrobat prestige class), so I'll have the balance/climb/tumble/jump skills down, along with the classic Search/Open Lock/Disable Device skills. I don't want to feel like I'm restricting you though, so feel free to play whatever.
EDIT: Also, there's nothing stopping you playing a multiclass character, Prime might let you use the Monastic Training feat (lets you freely multiclass your monk levels with one other class - provided you stay lawful), which would allow you to play something like a Monk/Telepath - Which would rock, IMO.
The Nathri looks good. Fezrik doesn't have to play a rogue or even a skill monkey really.
Come up with whatever Characters you want to play, just know some tasks or encounters might be more difficult without certain skills or class abilities. I won't totally screw you guys over but I'll make you sweat once in a while!
Yeah, I'll play the skill-boy. Right now, I'm thinking of a Rogue/Soulknife...
---------------
Mynis, I'd suggest flipping a coin.
Psifox you make 6... so far the only role not filled is the skill monkey. Maybe a Lurk? Nathri are feral lil suckers! I still remember the illustration from the PSMC3 of them! Where is the PC write up of the Nathri?
I found it on this site. In chapter two. I don't know if you'll allow it, but I thought it would be cool.
I had the idea of playing an 'Albino' Nathri - He's got blue skin, has no hair, that sort of thing (I couldn't find a good picture, hence the change).
I don't have a problem with the Lurk, but I'm curious as to what kind of skill monkey you want? The Lurk lacks many of the 'traditional' break-and-enter skills, which are the bread-and-butter of the skill monkey. With that in mind, I'm fine with playing a 'vanilla' Rogue. Not that a Nathri Rogue is very Vanilla...

And for the resta youse guys, Eir has diplomacy pretty wrapped up, so whoever makes a skill monkey you can concentrate on the technical stuff.
This message is appearing in multiple threads - I will be posting IC, or building characters as appropriate for the character I am posting as when I get home from work.
@Archivist: See below for the Halfling Monk Racial Substitution levels:
Spoiler:
HALFLING MONK
Monk seems a counterintuitive selection for the Halfling at first glance, since the Halfling incurs significant penalties to her ability to deal damage in melee because of her Small size. A halfling monk, however, can learn to focus on mobility and eventually even neutralize some of the larger creatures’ advantages over her.
Hit Die: d6.
Requirements
To take a Halfling monk substitution level, a character must be a Halfling about to take her 1st, 2nd, or 7th level of monk. A Halfling monk who selects any racial substitution level for her monk class can freely multiclass between the monk and rogue classes.
Class Skills
Halfling monk substitution levels grant the same class skills
as the standard monk class.
Skill Points at Each Level: 6 + Int modifier (or four times
this number as a beginning character).
Class Features
All the following are features of the Halfling monk’s racial substitution levels.
Skirmish (Ex): A Halfling monk relies on mobility to deal extra damage and improve her defence. At 1st level, a Halfling monk deals an extra 1d6 points of damage on all attacks during any round in which she moves at least 10 feet.
The extra damage applies only to attacks made with unarmed strikes or special monk weapons (that is, the weapons a normal monk can use as part of a flurry of blows; see page 40 of the Player’s Handbook), and only on attacks taken during the monk’s turn. This bonus increases to an extra 2d6 points of damage at 11th level.
The extra damage only applies against a living creature with a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage.
The monk must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Halfling monks can apply this additional damage to ranged attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.
At 5th level, the monk also gains a +1 competence bonus to Armor Class during any round in which she moves at least 10 feet. The bonus applies as soon as the monk has moved 10 feet, and lasts until the start of her next turn. This bonus improves to +2 at 15th level.
The monk loses this ability when wearing armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
This substitution feature replaces the standard monk’s flurry of blows ability. A Halfling monk who selects this substitution level gains no benefit from any feature that improves or augments the flurry of blows class feature (such as the 11th-level monk’s greater flurry ability).
Bonus Feat: At 2nd level, a Halfling monk gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat.
This substitution feature replaces the standard monk’s bonus feat gained at 2nd level.
Size Matters Not (Ex): At 7th level, a Halfling monk learns to neutralize some of the natural advantage gained by particularly large opponents.
A halfing monk with Improved Grapple gains a +4 bonus on grapple checks made against opponents at least two size categories larger than herself. This is in addition to the +4 bonus granted by the feat.
A Halfling monk with Stunning Fist gains a +4 bonus on her stunning fist DC for stunning attacks made against opponents at least two size categories larger than herself.
This substitution feature replaces the standard monk’s wholeness of body ability gained at 7th level.
Man! That was a lot of typing.
That is verbatim from the Races of the Wild book. Hope its okay for me to use it!
EDIT: Once I know about approval or otherwise, I'll do my character - shouldn't take me too long.
The adventurers…
Gaius Octavian Cicero, Reman arcanist (Radavel) Christoph Buhrer, Germanian fighter/rogue (Torillan) Mortimer "Mort" Timos, Umbrian Cleric of Death (Archlich) Cpt. Samuel Erik Wychban, Umbrian Bowman (retired) (Wicht) Imbolc Talorcan, Northerlander Stormlord (SargonX) Tillaren 'Till' Tumblefoot, Halfling Acrobat (PsionicFox)
Yes, that's right, PsionicFox...I've decided to make my life insane keeping up one more...and an acrobatic halfling at that. Was it the guilt-trip? The vote of confidence? Well, it all helps...but the tenacity clinched it. Plus, look at that avatar...who could say no to that face? Who? *bawls openly*
Alright! All hail tenacity and a 'face you can't say "no" to' in the face of adversity!
To the Archivist: I have no objections if you will allow PsionicFox in the game. If this is a democracy, he has my vote. If this is any other system of government, who do we have to bribe to get him in?
Or invitation by bribery, that works too! :P

To PsionicFox: How are you there in Australia?
Busy - work is pissing me off. Having to liase with idiots is giving me the s*!$s.
Oh, dang it PsionicFox! You're gonna make me cry...
*grins* that's the plan! Invitation by guilt-trip, lol. Seriously though, I'm happy to wait on the list until someone drops out. The nature of the concept is such that he can turn up virtually anywhere, and not have it break the game world or belief of the players.
Oh, PsionicFox...I'll keep you on a wait list as we're currently full up, but I'd have to look into the racial subs, as I don't have the Races of books. I do like the gypsy Halfling idea....
No problem, I totally understand. And if you're unsure on those racial subs, I can always write them up verbatim. You have no idea how often I've done that for DM's.
If not I could always scan them and put them on photobucket for you or something...
Name: Tillaren 'Till' Tumblefoot. (Tillaren the Tremendous of the Tumblefoot Trio is his 'stage name' - see below for relevance)
Race/Class: Halfling Monk (Using Halfling Monk Racial Subs). There may also be a level of Rogue involved (with the appropriate 'Ascetic' feat).
Appearance: If the 'maturity' didn't give away, you'd think he was a very muscular young boy. He had dark hair, dark eyes, and wears loose comfortable clothing and a pair of soft leather boots. A pair of leather gloves hang from his belt.
Concept/Background: My basic idea was to make Halflings like gypsies... He comes from a caravan of 'gypsies' that are more like acrobats, and who take their art very seriously. If you asked him, he would not call himself a monk. This is more of a concept than a background, but you get that. This is PsionicFox, btw.
EDIT: Of course, I think I'm a latecomer, so if you're all full up on your numbers, I'm happy to bow out.
