Character Histories!

Nice to see which have been submitted.  As to approval..? 

you mentioned that if we had in our character histories that if were were in command of a massive legion of soldiers or the head of a grand trade caravan our character histories would not be accepted. is there a magic number for things like if for example "character X is the headman of his bedouin tribe of 1000 people" is that ok or would it have to be a sammer number say 200?

Typically, and James correct me if I'm wrong, its more that characters should avoid being in charge of anything very grand or large - remember, you enter the game as a first level character with first level skills.  Unless you have a REALLY good reason, it just doesn't make much sense.  On top of that, histories are for flavor and development, not an attempt to give you an advantage over other players.  Thats why no PC can come in as nobility  - it would give a player something to hold over others heads just cause they wrote a line in their history. 

So I shouldn't have written that I was the Royal Hug Marshal, and I hold similar titles is all the lands of Palmydia, and that legend had it that even Evernight had a healthy respect for my huggaliciousness?  Darn, thwarted again!

You could play it off as you were the leader, until they were all killed by "insert thing of hatred". You tracked down "Insert thing of hatred" to Travance and will not stop until "insert thing of hatred" is killed.

If the history is listed there, than it means that it is approved. Kristen is right, Tom has a good idea.
