The 3 skills INCLUDES your class skills, Hypermnestra. btw, the reason for Luthien's reaction is Drows are usually EVIL, and Drows and Elves HATE each other, A LOT!

"You know...this isn't necessarily the Drow that did...whatever they did to you. They're not all evil, you know, and not all directly responsible for their kinmans' actions. We should at least check before we kill someone."

hmmm....

what else does a ranger get for level 3????

"Does it look like I care? He's still a Drow. MAYBE his ....fellow rat-kin should've thought of what they were doing first. You, Go back upstairs and leave me alone with him. I will accept nothing else." He says Coldly

using the darkness as an advantage, Luthien loosens the straps tying his sword into the sheath.

The Paladin shakes his head.
"If you must kill him, at least do not do it while he is restrained and unconscious. Give him a weapon, and a fair chance. I will not let you kill him in cold blood."

[OOC:I was wondering, will we get a chance to raise our attributes?
Like, I wanted Combat Expertise for feats but mah Intelligence was too low.]

"I will not let you kill anyone in cold blood, much less based purely on some sort of racial discriminatory grudge. No."
