Editing Bill's special rule requests

* The rules say that the [[http://darknessfalls.leaderdesslok.com/hp-giantblooded.htm Giantblooded]] heroic path isn't open to dwarves.  I'm fine playing a giantblooded Erenlander, but I'd ''really'' like to have that character a dwarf.  It seems the main reason the rules say this is due to dwarves being mostly a small-sized creature, and the 'path eventually makes the character Large-sized.  But, I really like the idea of a large dwarf, who looks like a more-burly version of Blob (remember that he was Large?) who gains most of his size from being '''thick'''.<br>'''Update:''' Giantblooded for this dwarf was allowed

* [[http://www.againsttheshadow.org/index.php?page=28 Foundling]] is a new heroic path from the Against the Shadow fansite.  I'd like to choose this for my necromancy-focused channeler.  Basically, the path is for a person who is born somewhat apart from reality.  Less than totally alive.  At level 20 the character becomes incorporeal, like a ghost, which isn't really something I'd look forward to necessarily, but it would drive the development of the character into a really neat direction.  That's the main reason I like it so much.  If not, second choice is Charismatic - but that will not develop the character's personality and such in the direction I'm really excited about.<br>'''Update:'''  Foundling was allowed

* [[http://www.againsttheshadow.org/index.php?page=36 Bloodletter]] is a new heroic path from the Against the Shadow fansite.  I thought this would be really strange but fun, for a dwarven barbarian.  A very front-line fighter who acts as a literal meat shield, taking hits frequently and just barely scraping through.  Very reckless and dangerously fun!<br>'''Note:''' This may be used for a future character (assuming a current character dies)

==Spells==

''A Note on Selection''<br>The following spells aren't just "all of the spells Kyuad could cast out of the books."  The selection process was pretty strict, limiting the spells selected to most Necromancy spells, protective Abjuration spells, and Conjuration spells that aren't in the Summoning or Calling subcategories that also aren't straight combat spells.  For an example, most of the Conjuration spells in the ''Spell Compendium'' were combat spells that deal damage, and very few of those are listed here.<br>I'm not expecting all of these (or even most) to show up in the game, or to become available for Kyuad to learn.  But this gives the GM a lot more options for introducing spells into the game for this character's use, and some of these are very cool to boot.

* ''Spells from the Spell Compendium''  (''C'' = Conjuration, ''A'' = Abjuration, ''N'' = Necromancy; the number is the spell level)

** '''No Light''' - it's the opposite of ''light'', by creating an absense of light (not magical darkness).
** '''Preserve Organ''' - a lower-level and weakened version of ''gentle repose''.  This preserves a portion of a corpse, rather than the whole thing.  Mainly, I could see this useful for preserving steaks, or a portion of a body that needs to not decay, like if you were bringing it to someone who could reincarnate a dead ally.
** '''Suspend Disease''' - doesn't cure disease, but slows it, like ''slow poison''.
* ''Spells from other sources''
