I noticed a few things. First:
>"You should also know that your instrument is your life, in many ways. It will be the vessel for your magic for some songs. I recommend that you learn the stringed instrument skill for now, since many songs shall depend upon it."
That might need to be updated.
Second, he started with 0 parry, which means he doesn't qualify for first circle.
Third, Silvyr should probably mention that she'll teach Care for free. Newbs who don't know to grab it will have a harder time getting their first few circles (although it would still be doable without classes).
