I am still wondering how to exactly play him as a beguiler given his alignment, the fact he can be quite serious every now and then and of course his draconic ancestors. So my main questions are: - How could I effectively rpg a Half-Dragon, does it have any special rpg requirements because of his blood (draconic but also his sun elven heritage). Would he act differently, regard situations from another perspective because of his ancestory and the physical and mental inhereted mental augmentations? - Why would a half-dragon, and mainly a golden half-dragon with sun elven heritage become a beguiler according to you? I described it in his background as his ambition to understand and feel the Weave, and his inability to understand the ways of the wizard; he more or less inherited the sorcerous power. - My character is (while neutral good through his life in the rest of Faerun) quite honoured to be in the service of his family (his House) and shall therefore go to great lengths when acting in their service and help family members as far as his own ethical codes let him. Therefore, what could a beguiler do in service of his House, and then especially a half-dragon (considering his physical might by sheer inheritage of his draconic ancestors)? Thanks for your advice in advance, Yours Sincere, GVR

He might negotiate deals [trade, diplomatic etc] successfully for his house.Or he may bring them exotic and fine goods from far lands [Silk, ivory, dragonskin etc]
