Message: <blockquote data-quote="RUMBLETiGER" data-source="post: 6047902" data-attributes="member: 6674868">He's been fun.  Backstory actually has him a member of a village that had been rescued by some of our former PC's from another campaign.  when my character was an 8 year old NPC, the Favored Soul picked up a pebble, used the level 0 Light spell upon it, and with a wink tossed the pebble to the kid.  The illumination lasted briefly, but that moment changed his life.  I used the DM's NPC from that campaign to be my PC choice in the next.So his family, father a Thatcher and mother a Weaver by trade, send him off to find schooling.  He's got all the characteristics to make a great Paladin- Noble determination, a strong desire to help others and defeat evil, etc, etc.  On his journey, he's instead found by a member of the Mages of the Arcane Order (Complete Arcane), a rather roguish (by personality, not class) professor from <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/vortexshadow/maps/mathghamhna.html" target="_blank">Mathghamhna</a> (Complete Arcane, AD&D College of Wizardy) who was looking to win a bet with some of his colleagues- Find an apprentice with no prior magical experience to train as a specialist Wizard in the classroom of the wide world.  The professor would train him from afar using "<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-pathfinder/321279-magical-communication-item.html" target="_blank">Magical Email</a>" and the student would learn the Wizarding ways as his teacher saw fit.And so, Terrance Thatcher, the Wizard with the soul of a Paladin, was forged.  After 5 levels of Transmutation specialist (his mentor's specialty), his upbrining of learning some of his parents' trade lead to a natural affinity for the Weave of Magic and made the War Weaver PrC an easy choice.  After mastering as far as his teacher could take him, he has graduated out and is, for the first time at level 10, the master of his own leveling destiny.  While he's no longer interested in pursuing Paladinhood, he does want to explore Divine magic, thus the Archivist dip.  He's pretty hardwired to think and learn like a Wizard, so the class makes sense.  He's committed to furthering Arcane magic, so the Divine thing will be a hobby.  Picking up scrolls here and there, whatever I can convince my DM to pass my way, but I can make suggestions of what he'd want to find, and in large cities my PC can shop reasonably easily for what I'm looking for.I'm trying to convince my DM to allow him to encounter a group of Combat Medics to inspire him to want to pursue that path, but that's a little down the road.</blockquote>
