Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 5678868" data-attributes="member: 19675">The way I'm envisioning Rigel is going to be in keeping with at least MOST of the published stuff on Dragonborn, so all that stuff about Tiamat & Io is part of his faith...so monotheism is out.But Bahamut being, as they say, "first among equals?"  That sounds workable.As for his nature & role: normally, a Wizard (or maybe an Artificer) would be the scholarly choice.  With Rigel, I see the Sorcery and Star pact as making him into a bit of a mystic.  The Paladin in him is a measure of his (and his family's) faith.  (Full name/title: Rigel Ibn Azimech, most faithful servant of Radiant Bahamut.)His devout side drives his character and makes him a warrior for his god, but his mystic side has driven him to wander...His five-year mission: to explore strange new lands, to seek out new stars and new civilizations, to boldly go where none of his clan has gone before...*coughRodenberrycoughcough*IOW, he's a seeker of mystic knowledge and arcane secrets of the cosmos- especially those pertaining to the "inevitable" rebirth of the Arkhosian Empire...and his family's role within that destiny.  As a being of virtue, he is also a protector of the weak.Which is why I went Paladin over Avenger, Warlord, Fighter or most other kinds of warrior, and why classes like Invoker or Cleric weren't quite right.</blockquote>
