Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bloodweaver1" data-source="post: 3104775" data-attributes="member: 31459">Here is the background for the character I was thinking about. I tried to tie it into what you have already established as the adventure hook. For the character build/concept I was invisioning the character as Ronin with an unknown hertiage. I was originaly thinking using the Samuria or Knight base class offered in the CW and PHBII but found those classes to wanting. I noticed that you mentioned core books so I was then looking at the paladin class. However, I see this concept not really needing the special mount ability, especially if I plan on using the Kensai PrC from the CW (with  DM's approval). So with that I ask if it possible to use the paladin varient offered in the PHBII where a charging smite is given instead of a special mount. The charging smite is as follows:[sblock=charging smite] Benefit: If you smite on a charge attack you deal an extra 2 points of damage per paladin level to any evil creature you hit (in addition to the normal bonus damage dealt by a smite). If the charage attack misses, the smite ability is not considered used. This is a supernatural ability. [/sblock]I also ask if the Kensai PrC can be used from the CW in your campaign. I feel the PrC fits well into the feel of the campaign. With it being all honor bound and all. Let me know. [sblock=Background]Unlike all other Dwarves, Helcar has no family and no clan name. He is simply known as is. His past is simple and easily dismissed with elders as luck and coincidence. The year he came into manhood he was told that when he was found, he was the only survivor a raid of what is too believed full of Orcs and Trolls. The raid surprised and killed his entire village during an evening storm and left him for dead. The next day a patrol sent out by his Lord found his village and brought him back to be raised within the Keep’s walls. That was some 60 years ago. Now, he is a respected solider of battle, a warrior of duty and honor that has served his good hearted Lord faithfully and honorably. Over time he became favored by his Lord above all others and often times sought for his personal opinions and views on grave matter of state. Eventually he would even become the secret lover of the Lord’s oldest of two daughters. Unfortunately it was realized that they could never make their affection public for he has no clan, and could never wed a woman of noble birth. So they married in secret, making personal vows to each other. Through his many years of servitude he would rise to the highest ranks within his Lord’s elite guard and was revered by many within the Keep. But that has all changed now. Some moons ago in the early morning he was sent on a routine errand to one of the nearby villages. Upon his return that night he would find the entire keep of his Lord littered with the dead bodies of his peers and friends. Their blood was thrown across the ground in what he concluded was a surprise attack. But from what, or from whom, he did not know. He would search through out the entire Keep only to find that both his Lord and his Lover have met the same fate as the rest of the Keep. With the enemy long gone, he would spend some time taking care of the deceased and saying farewell to his lover. With his Lord’s sacred sword in hand he gathers his gear and heads out in search of the ones accountable for making him an orphan once again. His only clues are a name written down during his lover’s final moments with her own blood and vague glimpses within his mind of a battle similar to this one.[/sblock]Thanks!-Blood</blockquote>
