05-16-04, 04:11 AM I have a character concept of a LG Gold Half-dragon Reaping Mauler. I really like the idea, but I got to thinking, and I cant really come up with a viable past. Why would a lawful good character end up resorting to crushing the life out of people and achieve "gruesome" victories? :(

05-16-04, 04:46 AM Because being a half dragon, fighting with your hands is the only honorable way to fight. Besides is the real test of self worth, any fool can pick up a magic sword swing it wildly and kill things. It takes a real man to prove his self worth infront of another by a test of true strength and skill. Combat always has the possibility of death, but to die with honor is not truly dying.

05-16-04, 08:55 AM Hmm... I'm not sure I fully understood what you wrote, but it seems to me like you are trying to justify complete mutilation of the victim. If that is the case, then combine the good and the lawful. The "good" requires the complete and utter destruction of evil. Perhaps there have been one too many cases or regeneration/reanimation, that have caused the forming of the habit of utter destruction. From habit, laws are derived, especially when the current generation cannot remember the old days - and hence the original reason for the code of practice coming into being.
