In Soviet Russia all pools the same! All characters the same! We all ride bear to battle and regain communism pool by drinking vodka and singing praises to mother Russia. We all start at level 5 and give extra experience to lower level players and npcs until everyone in world get to level 5 too! All same!

Seriously though, can you imagine the amount of multi-classing abuse that would happen if all of the pools were made into one?

Some things about being sad...

<cue motivational music>

I am a freelancer that is lucky enough to be able to make a living off of my work (albeit mostly through technical writing). It took me a long time to get to that point. I used to be hurt by rejection like you obviously are right now. There were times that I would not even submit things, because I was scared of rejection. Long story short there were some people and some cliché advice fit for an episode of Oprah, only far more offensive and needed at the time. Blah, blah, blah I changed. Fast forward twelve years and I am doing work for a number of the same companies that rejected me the first time that I submitted work to them way back in the days of butt hurt.

I'll give you a little of the above mentioned advice that I was given. As I said it was harsh and I only relay it to try to help not to insult. A very successful and well known author once told me, "Maybe you should give up, because you don't really want this job bad enough. You want the good parts, but you sure as <expletive deleted> don't want the whole thing... Do you want to find out why you weren't good enough? Do you want to learn what the audience wants? Of course you don't and that's the problem... Now prove me wrong!"

I look forward to seeing your item on the critique my item thread. Keep your head up and good luck to you in future years.

Brief Background
Born in Mechitar, the capital of Geb. Raised by two unloving parents, one a wealth-obsessed merchant and the other an ordained priestess of Urgathoa, Bly’gha’s childhood was quiet yet traumatizing. Blessed with a keen mind, the boy was fast-tracked into the Ebon Mausoleum and taught the basics of necromancy over the course of his teenage years. Here, far away from the sun, Bly’gha became known as Bleach, in a nod both to his name and the pallid state of his skin.
In his late adolescent years, it became clear to Bleach that if he were to stay in Mechitar much longer, he’d be forced to undergo cannibalistic Urgathoan rituals to honor his mother and as part of his first steps towards becoming undead. Scarred by years of horrifying scenes, deeds, and knowledge, Bleach listened to his guts (and their absolute refusal to consume human flesh), and ran. And when you’re in Geb, there’s really but one place to run to: Alkenstar.

Description
A pallid young man with a tendency to hunch up, Bleach never seems to be quite at ease. Whether it is paranoia, memories from the past, or simply bad posture that’s to blame, who knows, but fact is that only his sleep does he seem to fully relax.
Bleach is trying to grow out his hair to hide the various ritualistic scarring and discolorations on his head. Those on the of his body he cannot hide, though he is hopeful to one day find an alchemical solution to undo the scar tissue and dissolve the tattoos. His hands and forearms tell a gruesome tale, and Bleach has learned that this often works in his favor: people leave him when they take notice.
Other than that, he’s a relatively normal human male of average height (for a Gebbite) and with piercing grey eyes that, depending on the onlooker, either are screaming for help or indicate danger. The truth is that too much reading in the dark with nothing but a candle has made him slightly myopic, so he tends to gaze at the world with eyes wide open.

Various Notes:
-Familiar scales (thanks to the thesis)
-Feats to consider are: Reach Spell (4), Additional Lore (Skill Feat),
-Familiar: kinspeech (6)
-Spells to pick up: Truestrike (bad at low-level, good later on)
