[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3104817, member: 35788"] You just like the flexibility and the mental stat boosts! :p I don't blame you, though. Through writing my Story Hour I have discovered that I am drawn to the Drakontos as a people as well. Something simply cool about intentionally designing a background around the fact that a character has a moderately intimate relationship with a dragon father. Sweet. If you are looking for a bit more info on a typical Drakontos lifestyle than you had upon making up Keryth, I would direct you to the Background of Ischarus. Granted, he's a duskblade coming from a silver clan, but the flavor text might give you a decent read. It can be found in the [url=http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=3080963&postcount=4]Bitterness Overcome Persona[/url] RG thread. Note that there would be some differences between a silver and a bronze community of Drakontos. The silvers would be much more secluded and reserved whereas the bronze Drakontai are likely more familiar with the "outside world" even if they still choose to remain a tight knit community rather than meld into the developing world around them. The Bronze Drakontai - like their dragon fathers - are likely to have a high sense of good and justice. Hmmmmm. This sparks many ideas - all of which are beyond the character's knowledge, of course. If you are looking for a decent plac to start geographically, the northern coastal town of Partuss (in Tongra) has a suburb that is currently suffering from a Sahuagin tribe. They would be natural enemies of the bronze and being a coastal area would be an area that a Bronze Drakontai tribe might just live in. Not to mention that Partuss is the home of an arcanist of great reknown: Warus. [And no - you may not think about including Warus in part of Aekalos' background. ;) ] This would also put Aekalos in the region of [url=http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2718847&postcount=4]Earl Patron[/url], and it is a slightly conflicted land. The Earl is a good man, but not a strong leader. There is tension in his domain. Of course, you wouldn't have to start there, just a thought. 2nd level is no big deal. I actually prefer to not start at 1st level because the characters are so fragile. [When I write fiction I let my characters start small, but that's because ultimately I control the dice, then!] Should you want to start in Partuss, the Sahuagin are typically a CR 2 creature so that would be appropriate - assuming that Aekalos couldn't solve the problem completely at such a low level anyway, but it would give him a place to start. No - I'm not really interested in changing your mind. You know that DM NPC type characters typically take a very non-leading role anyway. I imagine the character will eventually develop a friendship of sorts with one of the NPCs I throw at you. But honestly I'm happy to let you start solo and see where it goes. [/QUOTE]
