[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 7508270, member: 6688277"] Still very much reading through the multitude of pages, but just wanted to pick up on this as I don't feel my take on it would be too drastic, I consider myself somewhere in the mid/reasonable side of this discussion and DMing practice. So I am running a mash-up of STK and ToD, and we have sibling PCs in the services of Bahamut, one being a divine warlock and the other a paladin. I use that background connection (and if their holy symbol are visible) to provide them with bonuses when dealing with metallic dragons, extremely negative reactions from cultists and chromatic dragons and certain level of skepticism from giantkin, depending. I might provide them with various dreams, visions, possibly an inspiration point for deeds done which promote their patron/deity. It is a way of tying them closer to the setting and storyline. From an encounter perspective they would be enemy#1 for cultists, evil dragons and generally minions in the service of Tiamat or for giantkin who viewed all dragons and dragon-related beings as a threat to giant society. EDIT: That is how we generally operate with backgrounds and gods/patrons at our table. [/QUOTE]
