Message: <blockquote data-quote="hopeless" data-source="post: 8219262" data-attributes="member: 36349">When I established my Rothenel game I ended up with a Fallen Aasimar Paladin with the Folk Hero background, a Dawnfather Cleric Acolyte and a pair of half elves (a Shadow Sorceror Performer and eventually an Arcane Trickster Rogue).Using the Paladin's very brief background story that didn't explain his background had the murder of his parents be the crux that founded an order of Free Knights in response to the Royal Guard trying to cover up their murder.The guard who saved his life ended up training him as his squire as the orphan was raised at the Everlight Shrine as a Paladin in training with his mentor actually a Paladin of another deity but one friendly with the Everlight.Eventually using the little information he provided would have revealed his father has a twin brother who he was mistaken for resulting in their ambush killing his parents.His personal nemesis who he would recognise if he ever bothered to pay attention turned up a number of times but never close enough for him to get a good look at him.The Cleric's mentor was intended to explain his failure to act is why the Paladin's parents were killed, revealing a former priest was behind the attack.The other two were survivor's of an orc attack on their village, when the brother stole a cloak they were hunting and is still openly wearing it meaning eventually the same nemesis is going to come after them once he recognizes it!The Paladin player accused me of rewriting his back story despite it being mostly used his complaint ignored the fact his character would have undoubtedly be killed by the starving peasants who murdered his parents when simply asking me about the setting background would have made it clear his idea wouldn't have resulted in a Folk Hero.I actually asked about certain details using his answers to develop the above sub plot something unlikely in a rail road.</blockquote>
