well first off how does a true neutral character get the Vow of Poverty? also knowing your stats could help the people on the board give you advice.

i forgot im a human... :)

got a dervish rougish elf CN
a rokugan NE ninja
and a Ture nuetral monk

well first of all my Dm nor i or any of the other players in the party own the BoED so we made an agreement on sharing the gains with any poor people... and people who cares bout nature... my character will not care if its good or evil the only thig that matters is the nature...

so ... well stats...
str 8
dex 7
con 10
int 19
wis 24
cha 17

counting the -6 +3 in the fist and the last...



Now...
hmm what else.. i want a dragon pet.. jajaj i dunno how can i find it.. my dm says that i should contact a dragon slayer... but as a VoP Druid i have no money .. what can i offer to the DS in order to get a baby dragon or something.. i need RP ideas .. GOals ... anything guys these is my first druid character...
thanks alot for the help....

Since when did an old druid with a vow of poverty go look for dragons to raise, anyway?

Perhaps you should try something else. Sounds too far-fetched, try playing something easier. Playing people wastly different from yourself is prohibited to educated actors, only. :) I've tried myself to roleplay characters with 22 int (and lawful good) but it's quite impossible. You could try, but I wouldn't recommend it. Playing such stats (worthless in physical, great in mental) is also hard, you'll die in battle before long and playing int 19, wis 24 AND Vow of Poverty (without the BoED!) will be quite difficult for you, especially since it's your first druid. It's often better to have more balanced stats, but that's just me. These are all thoughts and suggestions from my own experience, do as you like.

Oh, and it's called wyrmling, not baby dragon ;)

Well hold on...

I agree it's difficult to RP someone with those kind of mental indulgences and financial concerns, but you should at least try. Here's a trick: Infinetly wise old people don't need to speak! All you need to do is shake or nod your head to any decision being made. If you do feel the need to burst out and say something, do it with a cough. (A fake cough, you know, to throw off your enemies) Other then that, also sound confident and remember that you're traveling with a buncha kids seeing the world for the first time. You've been everywhere already and let them know that. Consider Knowledge skills to back up that up on paper.
Another nifty RP tip for druids is this: Make Wildshape a climatic thing. In combat, wait a few rounds in the back, summoning monsters or something... when your first teammate becomes seriously injured, pull a, "Oh boy, gotta save those runts again," busting out into a freakin' rhino or something.
