Tharivol Dementra has always heard the call of Corellon Larethian from when he was little, and with the mark on his hand, Tharivol knew he was destined for great things. How great though had always alluded him. When he became of age he joined the Paladin sect of the church, and quickly began his one man campaign against evil, which went expectationally well. He quickly began getting noticed and fame, and amassing an army to help him fight the evils, but he also got one thing all Paladins dream of, a dragon mount. Deraixa the sliver dragon allied herself with Tharivol, and shortly after an elven maiden named Derailia Xiloscient joined his army as one of his officers. Tharivol quickly fell in love with Derailia, and soon they were inseparable, with only battles coming between them as he fought from upon of Deraixa. Things went even better for Tharivol when Corellon Larethian called him to be his Divine Emissary as it proved to his army that their god was with them. But destiny has a funny way of throwing a wrench into the works. In the midst of a battle with an opposing army controlled by a Lich by the name of Draven Damsca riding atop of the Red Dragon Scarlax, Deraixa was mortally wounded by Scarlax, but not before she killed Scarlax, grounding Draven to the ground. As Deraixa fell to the ground, Tharivol prepared to battle with Draven calling out to the Lich that Tharivol will destroy him in return for Deraixa's wounds. The Lich, and the Paladin began to battle with Tharivol destroying Draven. Then Tharivol rushed back to Deraixa's side, only to find the dragon missing, and seeing Derailia bleeding out in the dragons place. "I've lied to you my love, for I've not been entirely honest with you. My name isn't Derailia, for I am actually Deraixa. I became Derailia so I could help you with your plans to root out evil, but my time in this world is short, and I wanted you to know the truth, and know that I will always love you." She said to Tharivol as she slumped in his arms, and began reverting to her true form. After that day Tharivol had an armor craft a suit of armor from Deraixa scales, as so she could always protect him and would always be with him. To this day Tharivol still fights evil with his new partner Xialanet, a silver dragon

Brief Character concept
Xialanet is younger than most dragons asked to take up the mantle of a Paladin's protector, but Corellon Larethian noticed that Tharivol Dementra was starting to lose faith, even though the half elven paladin would never admit it, after the death of his beloved Derailia Xiloscient, or better known as Deraixa the Silver Dragon. The God asked Xialanet to become the half elf's protector to give him new hope, and to show that life does move on. Xialanet is eager to please her charge, and often is rash in her choices. Though Tharivol has to bail out his mighty protector from her stupidity at times, he has warmed up to the dragon more quickly than he thought he would. The two are slowly becoming as one in mind and thought as the young dragon learns her why in the world.

Finally Finished, though I would like someone to check over the Dragon just to make sure I didn't make too many mistakes, because I'm sure I made some (First time making a dragon PC) Other than that, I'm going to post him up in the rg

 

[Ivellious]

If you take your Draconic Cohort AND Special mount as the same, they follow all the cohort rules, plus they gain your paladin(blackguard) special mount/servant abilities with no level penalty.

I'm having problems figuring out what this means. Are you meaning the the Cohort can be lvl 22 still and get the special mount abilities as if I was a paladin of ten lvls lower? Or that ten lvl lower thing gets thrown out the window completely and I get a lvl 22 Dragon with the abilities of a normal lvl 15 paladin?

I like Dragons.

So do I, especially the black ones..........too bad I'm not evil

 

[Jemal]

OK.. Paladin Special mounts get special abilities depending on how many Paladin Levels you have. For Dragon Mounts, you treat your paladin level as 10 lower to figure out what abilities they get. If your dragon mount is ALSO your Cohort, you treat your paladin level as it is for determinign their special abilities from Paladin Special Mount.

Pallandrome - are threats considered Compulsion effects? Because no single person here (who's SUPPOSED to be here) could stand against you 1 on 1... Especially since all the high level characters are going missing or being hunted by dragons and these 7 weirdos.

And then whenever the Cohort lvls up he has to take a dragon HD, right? And one final question, and I'll be able to get started on it........where do I find the stuff on making a dragon pc? I don't have that book I'm afraid

 

[Shayuri]

I'm a little curious about how he got to 53 Charisma, myself...I have a sneaking suspicion there may be a problem in the fundamental math. Anyway...

Here's the sheet for my dragon and his rider...a elf Favored Soul archer/buffer/healer. With some pally levels, the cohort's saves turned out pretty good for being 8 ECL's behind.

Let me know what you think. Point out any troublesome spots or errors...I tried to include wherever possible how I arrived at the numbers I got on the sheet. There's still a couple hundred thousand gp to spend...I wanted to ask if you allowed strongholds, and if so, would such a sanctuary be useful/suggested for this game? Perhaps an old lair, abandoned when he left the Material plane but that was never found...

And of course, I plan on saving a healthy amount of lucre to stash for a hoard.

[Ivellious]

Elfy von Elfenstein?
What Kinda name is that? And why does it sound so familiar

 

[Shayuri]

Hahaha...you got me.

The cohort isn't quite...er...done yet.

Placeholder name. Pay no attention to the elf behind the curtain!

*makes wiggly fingers*

 

[pallandrome]

I'm a little curious about how he got to 53 Charisma, myself...I have a sneaking suspicion there may be a problem in the fundamental math. Anyway...

A fair question!

18 points from the point buy.
5 points from level-ups.
12 points from Epic Cloak of Charisma.
5 points from Tome of Leadership and Influince.
5 points from five wishes, all cast in a row.
6 from being a Rakshasa
...
Hmm, yep something is off. First off, the Tome and the Wishes don't stack. I didn't realize that wishes gave inherint bonuses. I think I must have also counted the level 24 and the level 28 ability ups. So if we assume that I never cast those three wishes (or the two out of my dagger), then I should have 46 charisma. Just as a side note, I tend to do all my editing on the character after it is done, so please do not assume that I think my numbers are correct just yet Still, 46 charisma aint bad at all.

And while it doesn't explicitly say that threats won't work, I think disallowing them is more appropriate. Thematically, it's supposed to be like a contract with the devil. Satan is never so vulgar as to threaten someone into giving him something. He either tricks it out of you, bargains for it, or beats you in a (somewhat) fair contest. And being far more lawful than I am evil, I'd be VERY against tricking someone into signing such a contract. That's the kind of thing that would lose me my Blackguard levels!

As for actually taking me in a fight, I'm not really THAT tough. I've got good saves, but neither mettle, nor evasion. I'll probably also have fewer HP than anyone else in this crew, considering that I'm a primary caster, and that I'm using a +7LA race. What I DO have is a whole lot of utility, and the ability to escape out of a lot of situations.

 

[Ivellious]

I've finished my character, though I'm still stuck on the cohort part of it. Can someone help me out please?

 

[Shayuri]

Oops.

Edited to mask stupidity.

Nothing to see here...move along.
