<p>Eh, not great, but only 1 point lower than I would have gotten from the other method.</p>
<p>As for other leveling up things, nothing too exciting. Two new cantrips, (one from level, one from human FCB), Disrupt Undead and Open/Close. The former gives me more options in combat, the latter means we can open things from 30 feet away and not have to worry so much about traps :)</p>I'm okay with rolling.

<p>She looks south with a pensive expression. <b>"According to the inscription south is safe, but that was presumably written <i>before</i> whatever caused the dead to rise here.
