Anyone find this helpful to their Player Character or Campaign?

Hello Klyden,

I added your excellent list to my ever expanding collection of Word Files gleaned from many varied sources on the internet.

I'll probably use your material to flesh out NPC's in any future Realms campaigns I run.

The only suggestion I would make is to consider the placement and size of the Birthmarks, such that they are not all large and not all placed on the chest or back.

I would also suggest giving rare breeds of Orcus Tieflings the ability to cast Invisibility to Undead.

Good work!

:D

I don't know about the symbol birth mark thing but the rest of it looks really cool. I mean the BG video game character didn't have a birthmark but then again I don't think that game is canon.... but anyway seems semi cheesy to have so many hold symbol birth mark people running around.

But once again great job overall!
