A couple of questions before I begin...

The campaign notes suggest it would be best for your player's characters to be from the Cauldron area or city itself.

Any suggestions on handling where the characters -live-? I've never DMed before.

Also, I suspect one person is taking Touched in the Head AND Scarred Soul, two of the traits with "secret" effects, at the same time. Any suggestions on handling this particular character?

Well, the Vanderborens own a lot of property in town, one assumes that you could rent an apartment somewhere - perhaps from their property management company?

Likewise, if you don't want to pay for an apartment or are not sure where you will be in a few months, a Boarding House would be a good choice.

My bunch is flopping on Keygan's floor right now, which he is not too happy about - but then, he deserves it :)

As far as the Traits go, just put your foot down (gently) and tell the player to save something for someone else :)

All of my PC's took a 'special effect' since they were all told, by me, that htey had to be from the city. I wanted them to have a reason to care about what happens in and around Cauldron. Ia m also thinking about one of them befriending Terrem so that when he disappears again my PC will be angry.

On a side note, I have a rogue who is a scarred soul paranoid rogue and a bard who is touched in the head. Shall make for interesting role play when the bard says that he has seen someone following them, even if no one is, and then the rogue feels his paranoid suspicions are confrimed. hehehe
