07-10-05, 07:21 PM So, I'm working on my character for a D&D 3.0 game. He's going to be a Human Vassal of Bahamut (for those that don't know, a fighter/paladin type, devoted to Bahamut, the god of good dragons), from Cormyr. He's probably around 19-20 now (I know, an old geezer ;)) and single-handedly killed a juvenile red dragon that was terrorizing his town/village/farm/bungalow/tent.

I know that's not much to go on, but any ideas, on background or personality?

07-16-05, 04:28 AM The Vassal of Bahamut is an Exalted PRC (though in practice, it's good bent is limited to worshiping a good god and smiting evil dragons)...

Ask yourself, 'why did I save the village/wigwam/penthouse appartment from the dragon?'

Seems like a dumb question, but consider:

Did you do it because you lived there?
Did you do it because loved ones lived there?
Did you do it because 'hey, everyone loves a hero'?

Even if the character didn't have a reason ('as soon as I saw it, I was already charging at it'), it's a good starting point. After all, this is the critical juncture where your career as a Vassal of Bahamut occured.
