And I'm like "Wow, a drow paladin/grey gaurd would be the coolest thing ever." So after a while of thinking my ideas on his origin are that he was abandoned(as a baby) for some reason, found by a paladin who raised him like his own son, guiding him on his path to becoming a Paladin. But, he cannot comepletely deny the fact he is naturally drawn to not-so-good-ness and his father notices this and decides to tell him about Grey Gaurds and so he decides to be one, later on in the game. So I need help deciding why he was abandoned, and just ways to generally improve his background. Thanks

Just have the mother and child flee into the underdark after the attack, she came across a portal and saw it lead to the surface. Knowing that illithids (like drow) never go to the surface, she went through and left the infant outside a random structure, then went back to the underdark. Turns out the structure was a temple to whatever god your paladin follows.

The paladins came upon a party of drow chasing a man with a baby and fought them off.The man [father] died of grievous wounds, but the baby was taken in by paladins
Drow64 07-17-07, 03:11 AM	And how exactly does this river manage to defy gravity? It's a magic river, DUH!
Fithero 07-17-07, 04:09 AM	It's a magic river, DUH! lol :D I like warwinner's idea the best so far. That way, whenever the character did something the other paladins disapproved of, they could go "what would your father think?" or "after all he did for you..." Peace
Lenore 07-17-07, 02:21 PM	I like war's idea althought maybe it should be another drow who is not worthy because I just like the idea of being fully drow.
warwinner 07-17-07, 02:30 PM	Or the father could be a prisoner of war from an enemy drow house, who was being interrogated and after all info had been obtained, scheduled to be fed to spider-demons The mother fell in love with this one and lied about how she conceived stating a unison with a summoned demon The rest is as the half-drow story *the PC probably will have to fight his mother eventually the way i see it, leader of a surface raid ? can you say moral dilemma :)
