> If your problem is "time" something that might help is picking a high int race. You'll spend less time practicing your abilities, and to be honest, whenever I play a high-int race [drow being my favorite... I only play Evils ;-)] I never really stop to practice at all. Since you won't have the time to wait around and get empowered, I wouldn't suggest any of those classes.

> I don't know what your preference is, but mine's Evil. I would suggest a drow anti-paladin. Not only because it's my favorite race/class combo, but because if you play them right they are pretty damn surviveable. (Drow's 24 dex helps since AP doesn't get dodge and 24 god-like intelligence REALLY helps learning/spellcasting.)

> The reason I suggest a drow AP is a little deeper than those two I just mentioned about dex/int, though. You won't need to get empowered, and you'll be able to PK decently well... especially once you get to level 25ish. This will help your clothing problem. Many people despise race exp penalties, I've always felt that they're there for a reason... and this is certainly true in a drow-AP combination. It might be tough to get an Immortals attention if you only have three or so hours to play a week, so don't count on it. As for cabals... 3 hours a week might be fine in some cabal, but I don't know of it. I don't think you would last long in the cabal.

> I really do think that you could have some fun with a character, even with only 3 hours a week or so... but do yourself a favor and stay uncaballed. You wouldn't want to spend a month (12-20 hours lets say) on a character, join Empire, then get anathema'd for having low donations due to not being around. I think you'd just be asking for trouble joining any cabal.

> > Here are some of the problems I see with playing only a few hours a week:

> > 1) If you want to have fun during the little bit of time you play you can't spend time spamming spells and such. Then your spells are less effective against anyone you may come across. If it takes me 20 hours to master some ability, then thats one month of my real time doing nothing but spamming... and thats no fun.

> > 2) Can you get in to a cabal playing just this little bit of time?

> > 3) God's attention? Is it possible?

> > 4) Gathering good gear for your char takes time... time I really don't have.

> > I'm sure I could think of other reasons... but I haven't got the time to list, and I'm sure you all get the idea. I'm not trying to bitch by any means, I just wonder if anyone can offer me some advice on playing for less time than most.
