02-02-07, 09:45 PM I'm going to be playing a savage druid who was raised in a nomadic tribe and spent his teenage years living with a pack of wolves after his tribe was destroyed by goblins. I need some ideas coming up with weird rituals and habits for my character.

Stuff I've come up with:
1. Anoints himself with the blood of fallen enemies to gain their strength.
2. Collects trophies.
3. Dance, chants and decorates himself to prepare spells instead of praying.
4. Chants before eating to ensure he is not haunted by the spirit of the dead animal.

Any other strange habits he might have?

Traditions have to be obeyed. Think of anything silly most of the time the reason for tradition vanishes leaving only the ritual.

Simply have small rituals for anything of importance.
Simple things like making a camp needs to be done in a very specific order.

And you can add things he can worship. The rising of the sun, the solstice.

Of course you abhor the idea of going against tradition. Because thats just crazy!
