okay well to start off i have a seed of an idea to get it rolling anyway...to explain why the character has to start out at 1st level...it's kinda' cliche in a way but i'm thinking reincarnation, to protect from the jaws of kezef...you are the bhaalspawn who ascended or destroyed the throne, but i still have yet to think of which to choose, new bhaal or cosmic unbalance/other god keeping the profile of murder
