So Frigo only shows up once every six months to spank newcomers? Hi, elsydeon. My favorite background so far has been "Sickly" because of the incredible and immediate boost to intelligence. This has served my technically inclined character well, but I imagine it could work effectively for magic users. I was especially enthused about my sickly character because of how it would accelerate him toward a 10% bonus to all skills, but I don't remember seeing much of an improvement once I achieved an intelligence of 20. I doubt that subject matter itself will spare anybody from the ire of The House's constituents. Their level of boredom at present may, however.
Why yes, I'm quite sure about that. Ah, but where are my manners. Welcome aboard, elsydeon. Here's your obligatory welcoming gif. Also, the free buffet is down the corridor, on the left.
