Message: <blockquote data-quote="Castellan" data-source="post: 1841079" data-attributes="member: 639">I'm thinking about bringing in a new character into one of the games I'm playing in. I've grown tired of the standard heroic character, and want to play something a little more devious. So, I'm thinking about playing a rogue who is pretending to be a paladin.I'm looking for suggestions -- in both game-mechanics and role-play -- that would help me pull this off.What kind of alignment do you imagine would best support this kind of behavior? What about classes, skills, and feats? I'm thinking of playing a rogue ("Why, yes... I do believe that incredibly rich merchant is evil! Let's kill him and take his stuff- err, for the church, of course!"), but I'm willing to entertain another base class. Should I beef him up with a level or two of cleric to lend "legitimacy" to my "divine powers?"The current party level average is 6th, and I'll most likely bring in a 5th or 6th level character, so even though a prestige class might be out of the picture immediately, if there's one that would work, lay it on me!I'm hoping to keep the character's true colors from my fellow players for at least a few sessions, just to see how believable he is. I don't want a character who will endanger his fellow party members, but instead one who has his own goals and doesn't mind pretending if it'll help him achieve those ends.So, what kind of ideas can you think up?</blockquote>
