If the DM wants, the mum can go from housewife to abomination in any time period wanted or needed. In D&D, everything can run at speed of plot. The problem is when the player, not the PC, thinks it is a horrible idea. Korjik's mother is a scribe and father is an accountant. They traded in every favor they could to get their magically talented son an apprenticeship with a powerful wizard at a young age because they were worried that he could end up turning evil if not taught discipline. They are content with their life, and Korjik occasionally seems ashamed that they are so mundane. He does keep an eye on them when he can, and should someone threaten them, Korjik would obliterate the threat. Now, making Korjik's mum a lich would not fit. She isnt that type of person. Having her involuntarily turned into a vampire would work, and I would love the idea (and the bad guys would have very very bad things happen to them). My point is, both sides need to be flexible. The background is not carte blanche for the DM, and the background is not inviolate for the PC. Both people need to get together and work out a good idea that is acceptable to both</blockquote>
