Herr Doktor 12-16-03, 11:27 AM	My current character is Leung Tze, a human (Shou in ethnicity), who currently travels the face of Faerūn in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. He is young, though talented in what he does. He's a Mnk2/Ftr2 (heading for the drunken master PrC in Complete Warrior), and was raised in the Dragonjaw Mountains of Thesk, by the wyrm copper dragon, Filauxerimos (CG male wyrm copper dragon Brd8) in a magnificent castle high atop the peak known as Dragon's Tooth. He left home a year and a half ago when he had a run in with the fang dragon Nartheling and was rescued by one of Filauxerimos' daughters who was badly injured in the attempt. While he lived in the castle on Dragon's Tooth he picked up much of the copper dragon demeanor. He is a prankster, riddlemaster, and master of the zither (he carries a masterwork zither gifted from Filauxerimos' horde). However, I am not. I need help coming up with draconian riddles, proverbs, and pranks. I believe my character will often refer to his "uncle" Filauxerimos (though he won't mention he is a dragon unless asked that specifically), much like this: "It's like old uncle Filauxerimos always said ... (insert wit)!" Any and all help is appreciated!

My character at the time was raised by his "Uncle Luc", who was really a polymorphed dragon named Lucian. I would go around and say stuff like, "Well, it's just like my Uncle Luc would say. He'd say, Pappy (that's me), if someone is trying to kick your butt, shoot him in the knee." or "Pappy, when opportunity knocks, have the maid answer the front door. You never know, it may just be death playing a trick on you." It was a real fun game, and I ended up with a good couple of pages of what became known as "Pappyisms: Words of Wisdom by Uncle Luc, as told by Pagan 'Pappy' Grey". Of course, what was really, really funny was when I went to repeat some of Uncle Luc's "advice" when he was around. For example: "Uncle Luc used to say to me, Pappy - that's what he'd call me. Pappy, you can't keep a good woman dead." That's when Uncle Luc (played by the DM) would holler, "That's not what I said! I said, you can't keep a good woman down. Down! Not dead." And then we'd get into some kind of shouting match (all in fun) followed by a violent attack on whoever we were currently trying to distract. Good memories. Peterson AKA Pappy "Just like my Uncle Luc was fond of saying - Pappy, when you want to dance with the devil, you gotta put on cleats."
