[QUOTE="Steve Gorak, post: 6832829, member: 15132"] Thanks for the feedback. Ultimately, if you have an idea, I'll be open to it. I'm just trying to figure something out that fits. An idea I thought of for the background is, whatever his noble family connections are (and your input/recommendations on this point would be much appreciated - I don't want this to be overpowered, only flavorful, and perhaps useful for plot hooks), he went on a meditative religious retreat to a shrine somewhere TBD (he is a paladin after all), and was illuminated (i.e. by the undying light). He had visions that Emperor Coaltongues died, and that Gate Pass must absolutely stand. He also believes that he is the "chosen one" to rule the unified land (this could be a delusion, or a reality, or somewhere in between). He could now work against the noble establishments of the kingdoms where he has relatives, and could also seek to start a church of the undying light. Would this work? Also, I would like to confirm a few points regarding mechanics: - can a staff arcane focus be fitted with a halberd head to be used both as a weapon and focus? I would add the price of both items. I understand if this is a no-go. - If not, can a crystal focus be tied around his neck, to be used to cast arcane spells requiring material components? Same question for paladin spells with the holy symbol. - Can he have a crystal holy symbol to use both as arcane focus and divine focus (just so he doesn't wear too many things around his neck ;-)? - I made him a pole-arm fighter because he would hold his pole-arm with one hand, and use his free hand to cast, and manipulate arcane/divine focuses if they are around his neck. He can alternate freely between casting and attacking . My build relies on this, so I wanted to make sure you are ok with it. Thanks and cheers, SG [/QUOTE]
