a) No established fictional characters (or their names) are allowed on Gateway to Reality unless you have created them, though you are perfectly free to borrow *ideas* for your character's conception from literature. So put your DragonLance characters away.

b) Be sure you know what you're doing before you start an evil character. (Read the section about evil characters in the CHARACTER help file.)

c) Magic users are special. Be sure to read the associated files before creating a magic user.
