| Anyone want to tell me of a deity that I can use for this campaign for that of a fighter, preferably, one of neutral alignment |

Salabasha,
Paladin of Freedom, right...from Unearthed Arcana...Assuming they have to follow the same limitations of a True Paladin...You'd have to worship a diety that is either...nuetral good, chaotic good, or chaotic nuetral...Arivia?
Forgotten Realms Options:
NG Dieties:
Chauntea - probably not...she's the earth goddess
Deneir - Glyphs, literature, scribes...nah...
Eldath - Quiet places, springs, pools, peace
Gwaeron Windstrom - nothern ranger type...sort of subsumed by Meilikki
Lathander - spring, dawn, youth, vitality...this is a possibility..very independent minded, encourages new ideas, thoughts
Meilikki - Nature Goddess
Milil - Bard God
Mystra - Goddess of Magic
Shallia - Woodsy Goddess
CG - most of the elven dieties would be here and most would probably be good... what race are you playing?
Lliira - joy, happiness, freedom, liberty goddess...that could be good
Lurue - Unicorn Goddess, nature again
Selune - Moon Goddess
Sharess - Cat Goddess, hedonism, cats, festhalls
Sune - beauty, love, passion
Tymora - Luck (Good)
Valkur - Water diety, sailors, ships
CN (I think you'll like these best...)
Finder Wyvernspur - Cycle of Life, transformation of art
Garagos - war, skill at arms, plunder (i'd check w/ arivia on this one!)
Shaundakul - travel, exploration, portals
Uthgar - tribes, physical stregnth
Tempus - (my reccomendation) - War, battle, warriors
Also depending on where you're from, the Mulhurandi diety Anhur would also fit.
(Information taken from Faith & Pantheons)
Hope that helps...if you see something interesting, I'm sure I or one of the more esteemed scribes can get you more information...

I'm going to laugh until I cry if Lady Kazandra chooses to be a Paladin-like character. 3 Rogueish characters paired with 3 Paladin-like characters  Oh my what fun we will have 
I'm really glad you found something you like Salabasha it should add a bit more muscle to our group.  |

Well, my character has a bit of muscle, but all I'm telling you is that he's a monk. I'm not positive how he's going to be entering the story, or even when, so I'm leaving it at that for now.  |

Actually, now that you mention it, I was playing with the idea of using the Sage's modified 'Oathsworn' class from Monte's Arcana Unearthed. But as it now stands, I think I'll be going with a Druid class PC.

| Sounds good. You might not be able to convert spells to cure spells, but you'll still be able to cast them. And I suppose a druid will have some nice "muscle" aspects as well (wild shape ability and summon spells). |

Good point. Actually I've always been intrigued by the wild shape ability of the Druid class, it's one of the reasons why I chose to use a druid in this campaign . . . since I've never played a druid PC before.

I'm looking forward to reading it too, since I haven't written any background up yet .
As it now stands, I'm still stuck deciding on a race for this druid PC . . .  .

With that kind of power you could turn into a rat!... A Dire Rat!... A Dire Rat Of GODLINESS!
As for race... dunno, elf? |

A dire rat  . . . It's funny, but whenever I think about dire rats, I think 'SKAVEN' .
I'm not going to select an elf for my PC though, an elf who is a druid is just so . . . usual. I'm looking for something that is not so-the-norm so to speak.

Perhaps a water genasi worshiper of Eldath? I'm just throwing out ideas here. |

I don't know -- aren't water genasi ususally by the coast? I suppose it could be a latent bloodline, but I'd think an air or earth genasi druid more likely in the Silver Marches. I'm just saying that off the top of my head, though, since I can't check my books at the moment.
If you really want unusual, of course, you can always do a half-orc druid. |

Well, I've always found both the para- and quasi- elemental genasi fascinating, particularly the Ash Genasi. So take a look, and let me know whether this race, (or maybe some of the other genasi from the site), are appropriate for your campaign.

As I said, I'm just throwing things off the top of my head. As of right now, from what I know, Wood Elf Ranger's character is the only one who's actually native to the Marches-it wouldn't be that much of a problem.
There is an earth genasi druid in the Marches-the Tree Slaker of the Night Trees.
Hmm...I'm going to have to figure how to get such a character anywhere near the Evermoor, let alone actually where I'm starting, if you remember my vague plan, Wyrm of Books... |

Here are a few ideas for your druids race. All of which can be found in Races of Faerun.
Wild Dwarf - perhaps ala Pickel?
Forest Gnome - gnomes are very underplayed might be very cool
Centaur - native to the High Forest easy background story female Centaur Druid would be sweet I think 
Wemic - Druid lioness anyone?  Grrowl
I also really like the idea of an Earth Genasi as well
So many choices! This is why I love Forgotten Realms so much the sheer depth of characterization!
(added later) Sigh both the Centaur and Wemic are ECL +3 so I guess those are out  |

| Indeed, the deadline is the 9th of Mirtul for character sheets, correct? I'll probably have everything in by this weekend. |

Good idea, except that wild dwarves are supposedly native only to Chult, so roleplaying what a level-one wild dwarf's doing in the Silver Marches (besides freezing his hair off, as (s)he'd be likely to think!) would be a bit beyond credibility.

Dang it! You already noticed. I didn't see that line until I just now.
(P.S. -- they're also higher in level because of racial Hit Dice; I wish they'd just stated it at an all-inclusive ECL, don't you?  ) |

Having a fun target practice Bookwyrm?  hehe
Yes our party is starting to shape up quite nicely I think
Arivia do you know why Lady Kazandra and Cherrn have not yet signed up at the Yahoo group? I think we've done enough damage here on this 8 page long scroll As soon as they sign up we should completely relocate. |

Think nothing of it. I only remembered the site mostly because I recall that the Sage had helped to work out some of the racial stats for the genasi posted on this site. They were originally a collaborative message board effort to create some planetouched for the oft overlooked elemental planes.
My decision for an Ash genasi though, isn't definite yet.

There's some rather interesting choices here Wood Elf, thanks. I would like to use a centaur, but I've never really liked their stats in Races of Faerun, so instead I normally use the centaur racial stats from the DLCS. I don't think I can use them for this campaign though, they have a +6 ECL.
Wemics are another good suggestion . . . maybe I can use the Sage's Litorians variants . . . hmmmn  .

Okay, yet another possible campaign...
