there should be an option beside the logging Boxes, that says "Keep me Logged in"... Maybe you should click it  I tried that too. It doesn't listen to me. *polishes bat+1*

I'm on now if you ever want to Chat! Otherwise, I'm just going to be pestering those poor people all by my lonesome.
Hope to see you there!

Thanks both! I've got all the expansions.. downloaded the files, installed everything and I've been snooping around the forums, lore and handbook for a week before I joined.  And..sorry about the camera! Almost forgot that's where I rigged it up. Just..uh... I'll take that back whenever you get a moment. *shifty eyes*

In your hands is a simple leather bound journal. Its pages are of crisp bleached paper and cut by a deft craftsman. The first reads: In service to Aragen, for the greater knowledge of all.
The following pages have a handful of ink splatterings. The handwriting is in a carefully practiced calligraphy, but the lines are half scratched out and unintelligible - marked as though someone began again and again, unsure of how to do so. Finally it seems the author gave up and started fresh on a new page entirely. The formerly laborious calligraphy gives way to a more fluid, natural handwriting.
"I've tried to begin this document a dozen times, but I can't find the voice, the perspective. I guess the only way I can is through my own.
I've set out on my own. After all the time within the monastery walls, this place seems so alien to me - so exposed. I can't describe the excitement I feel. The path seems like it could stretch out forever beyond these footsteps and I know not where it leads.
I don't know if that thought is awe inspiring or terrifying - perhaps both.
I miss my temple - it's libraries, it's gardens. I miss the people, the bustle - I even miss the chores. I'm homesick and its been but a scant few weeks.
I will go on. I will see the world and record every detail. I'll make you proud, Elifon.
All things in time."

I seem to have a recurring problem with logging in/staying logged into the Forum. I will go to log in, enter my name and password.. then it will take me to the "Thank you for logging in, SyntheticSoul" screen and then redirect me to the forums again. When I'm redirected, I still won't be logged in - which prevents me from seeing certain forum content or posting anything. I'll also have the fortune of logging in and..after innumerable attempts, I will finally log in, attempt to post something, only to find out that I'm no longer logged in when I hit "submit." That's happened both times I've tried to post character submissions with the wizard (in fact, about 15 times I attempted to use it for two characters before they took) and most of the time I try to post in the forums. This seems to happen about 80% if the time. O.o Yes, I've cleared my cache, cookies, personables and laundry. It didn't seem to help. I'm on Windows XP and tried in both firefox and I.E. (the new version, dont remember what it is) BUT.. i've also tried it on my ipod touch and that uses a mac-lite OS and Safari - same problem. So.. based on my lengthy technical training and my knowledge of web browsers, scripts and server/forum mechanics I've concluded simply that the layonara forums hate me and the best possible solution is for me to find the physical location of the server the forum is hosted on and give it a thorough tune up with an aluminum baseball bat labeled "Plan B." :mad: Questions and comments are appreciated. Danke Schon.  -------------------- Update: Case-in-point I had to relog in before it would take.

Before you is an elegantly made traveler's journal. Bound in a supple leather, it is sewn by silk stitch and bears an inlay of gold in the image of twisted vines. Inside you find an in inscription in flamboyant cursive, almost more decorative than legible:
"Behold! In your hands are the transcribed words and deeds of the great Eryndril Syrwin - expert swordsman, lover, and scoundrel extraordinaire! Fate has smiled on you friend, for you have the great fortune to follow my journey and bear witness to amazing and fantastic deeds of romance and adventure. But a word of warning to you, dear reader: My tale is not for those faint of heart or sensitive to scandal! But if you are prepared, then as am I!
Onward, to greater adventure"
Two blank pages follow it and on the third the script begins again.
"I feel as though I might be ill. After so much time traveling at sea, I may have just developed my sea legs when I stepped foot on the dock again - and woozy once more. Poor weather seems to be trend of late, it is a marvel upon marvels I arrived in one piece. Port Hempstead. Once more I find myself in a new port, a new place, and on the trail of new deeds of daring.
To my chagrin, my first encounter was with a group of halfing merchants. Many of my personal affects were either lost or damaged at sea, most grievously including my beloved rapier - snapped in twain during a near injurious accident involving a loose cargo crate. Thus, I was left with little more than the handful of coins remaining in my pocket. The nerve of the diminutive little swindlers! At the prices they asked, I'd have felt cleaner had they robbed me at the tip of a sword!
With a change of clothes and protection in tow, I set off about the city. My pockets felt significantly emptier.. and still unable to afford a suitable replacement blade. I wandered for some time before I encountered a most intriguing gentleman. He was broad and darker of skin - which says nothing in comparison to my own stature and appearance. He was clearly human, and a well dressed one at that. I must make a note to discover where he got his coat - I look stunning in brocade.
He turned out to be one Flynn de Ballard, a man as useful as he was debonair. Conversation struck up and he offered to show me around the town. He seemed very concerned with my needs and had the most interesting accent. I inquired as to where a traveler might find some temporary work or the odd job to help line his pockets. In response he showed me to the municipal district and introduced me to a lovely - if somewhat gruff - young woman with an issue involving the sewers. Though the atmosphere was somewhat less than inspiring, the potential mystery had me intrigued. If I were to ever acquire a proper replacement for my blade, such was my fate.
Flynn decided kindly enough to accompany me on my trek, and into the sewers we went! I learned quickly his profession when he began to sing along as we went. Mercifully, the pleasant stimulation to my aural senses helped negate the harsh punishment to my olfactory sense.
Rats! Rats as large as dogs! What rats were found here! With vermin troubles such as this, it is to my utter amazement that pets and children aren't continually noticed missing within the walls of Port Hempstead. We worked our ways through the sewer and vermin. I must have cut down several dozen of the elephantine citizens of the filth myself, my companion taking down a fair share himself. Eventually we worked our way into a sub level of the sewer system, where the titanic rats grew only larger! Wolves and tigers and bears of rats! BUT! We would not be swayed and only steeled ourselves against the army of mammoth vermin, one-hundred score strong. Before long we had cut through their ranks like an epee through silk, and laid eyes on the beast we had been stalking all along.
It was a monstrous creature - of parts lizard, man and parts unknown. We charged in, myself taking point. The battle was epic - a whirl of blades and claws, steel and fangs. In the end, my sword struck true and pierced the heart of the leviathan and the beast fell where it stood. I removed from its neck some trinket it wore - a small token of evidence that the deed was done.
We hurried back to the surface, unmolested. The army of vermin had not time to reassemble. As we surfaced and gazed back at the open night sky, I felt my heart soaring with pride at what we had accomplished. I welcomed the fresh air filling my nostrils, and gave the trinket to the woman who had commissioned our journey. The deed was done and my pockets were the fuller for it.
My companion proceeded to show me around the city and we came upon the captain of the city guard. I was told a harrowing tale of goblins and the sinister threat of a magic stick. I accepted my task and swore to its completion. The green menace would be quelled and their weapon would be disarmed.
But this night, our adventures had reached their end. The moon had begun to fall in the sky, and it would soon be morning. Flynn de Ballard and I parted ways, and I found my way to an Inn for the night.
Tomorrow will be glorious."

I've been reading up for the last week or so, and I've decided I want to make an elf.. I have a lot of the concept worked out.. but I'm encountering a roadblock when looking at his backround - So it's question time.
What is the elven social order like inside of Voltrex? I know about the city states, and the 5... but on a lower level. Is there sort of an aristocracy? Or maybe a semi-feudal House system of nobility (i think the drow have something like that).. or?
On a somewhat seperate note: Are there any class combinations or PrC combinations that are outright banned or frowned on, aside from the already mentioned multiclassing secion rules?
Just wondering.
Let me know! I'm working on the submission as we speak:D

Hi guys! Came across the forums about a week ago and I'm now obsessed! I finally gave up my voyeurism and decided to register and dive in Now to come up with a character. See you in-game!
