I can't define a really good background for him (only few general points so far) and I need a little of help on how I should behave. I am a Lawful Good Monk/cleric with vow of poverty, vow of nonviolence and vow of peace. Any ideas?
dorkknight23 12-08-03, 02:03 PM	Well, first all, knowing his/her race and stats might be nice, and also how you intend to roleplay him/her. That could help in figuring out a background.
gorion 12-09-03, 06:34 AM	You are right I was a bit in a hurry.. Well, he's Human. His stats are: Str 13 Dex 11 Con 15 Int 11 Wis 18 Cha 16 I was planning to let him focusing on helping the poor people. For example yesterday I took a bunch of rotten fish, purified it and gave to the homeless. He's not interested in fighting nor in wealth

Perhaps wealth and/or war (quite a potent combination) touched him negatively in his youth and he was so repulsed by them he gave up violence and wordly goods for a career of good deeds. He could even have been wealthy himself (or part of a wealthy family) and saw "something he wasn't supposed to see" (and perhaps even intervened) and in penace/atonement gave up his wordly goods and vowed to never act in anger (e.g. violence.) He could have even started out as a less savory character, closer to LN or LE and "saw the light"; he may have been guilty of some violent robbery (mugging someone immediately comes to mind) and was caught by a wandering cleric who made him change his ways (like Jean ValJean from Les Miserables.) That could explain his change to cleric and his dedication to altruism. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Are you planning on going for the Apostle of Peace PrC?
gorion 12-10-03, 03:29 AM	Yes, I'm going for that PrC and after that Sainthood if possible. I like your ideas, thank you.
