Message: <blockquote data-quote="Murrdox" data-source="post: 1247329" data-attributes="member: 10131">Thanks everyone for their suggestions!A Chosen of Bane is almost along the lines of what I want to do here... only a Chosen is much more powerful than this NPC is going to be.  Nonetheless, he has still personally been picked out, lured to his death, raised, and then corrupted by Bane.One of the reasons I wanted to apply a Template to him is that the party has been assigned the task of finding this Paladin, who went questing against the forces of Bane, and hasn't been heard from in several months.  This Paladin was a local hero, and extremely popular.  His loss would be a tremendous demoralization of the local citizens.  The church wants the party to find him before the local cities begin to despair that their greatest champion has fallen, and Bane will swarm over them with no one to protect them.The Paladin has literally been reborn.  Something in the ressurrection twisted and corrupted his soul, endearing him to Bane and his service.  As such, as this Paladin begins HIS quest to regain power for Bane, he will likely run into the party, and other surrounding cities.  He's been so warped however, that no one realizes that this dark and evil man is really their fallen hero, whom they don't know to be dead.This was one of the reasons I wanted to apply a template to him... both as a physical result of the ceremony that twisted the Paladin's soul, and a physical change so that the party and townspeople won't recognize their hero in his new black armor.Of course, some sort of disguise could work just as well for this purpose.</blockquote>
