[QUOTE="mudbunny, post: 6375856, member: 56746"] So, some questions: I am working up a paladin of Vengeance. I would like to take the hermit background, but with a twist. One or two generations ago, more powerful nobles eliminated (politically) the noble standing of his family, and they had to escape to the wilderness. She had no idea it had happened. Recently, her parents died (were killed?? [I]dramatic background music[/I]). She discovered her mother's writings where she detailed how her family (inheritance was passed through the female side of the family) was laid low. While trying to survive, she found a cave with some images that appeared to be a vow of vengeance, which she swore. 1 - Can I take abyssal/draconic as a language? (If the vow of vengeance was actually a vow of obeisance towards a demon/dragon who will help her fulfill her vengeance) 2 - I am looking at the following traits/ideals/flaws. Are they acceptable? [U]Trait[/U] 1 - If you do me an injury, I will crush you, ruin your name, and salt your fields. 2 - I am better than where my situation has placed me. Once my vengeance is obtained, I will ascend to my rightful place. [U]Ideal[/U] Blood, real (or shed in pursuit of a common ideal [I]this would get added after having adventured with people for a while[/I]), runs thicker than water. [U]Flaw[/U] I have no respect at all for anyone of the noble class. Additional skill proficiencies would be Survival Animal handling Tool proficiency Quill & Ink (or whatever the noble class uses to write. This would be a holdover from what her mother taught her) Additional Equipment Signet ring [/QUOTE]
