Grr?”OK, my “real” first choiceAasimar Paladin20 years ago, a brave warrior defended a small shire from being overrun by an angry orc clan that had felt insulted by the humans living there.  The warrior rallied the people and led them to a great victory, single-handedly slaying half of the attack force.  But in the battle, he received a terrible wound from a weapon dipped in a nasty poison.  A young girl nursed the hero back to health and, as a gift to her, the hero, who turned out to be a celestial being, granted her a child before leaving to some unknown destination.The young girl, though proud to bear the child of a great hero, was ashamed to have no husband and, because she now was with child, would not be able to find a husband very easily.  Though all would know it was the great Hero’s child, she could not face the accusations and so left the shire before she began to show, traveling far until she was ready to give birth.  She found a church where she birthed the child and gave the boy up as an offering to the church.  The high priest of the church took pity on the poor young woman and accepted her gift, for a celestial born child (for which he obviously was) was a rare and powerful offering.  The High Priest named the boy Rhoen Silvermane, for his flowing silver hair.  The young girl left after weaning the boy and the priests never saw her again.  Some believe she was struck down by the gods on her trip home for rejecting the gift bestowed to her.Rhoen grew strong and tall.  All the priests loved him and he served the church with zeal all his life as he studied the ways of the priests.  When he was but a teenaged boy, a group of ruffians harassed the town the Church served.  When the Magistrate was stabbed in the back by one of the ruffians while trying to break up a fight one of them had started with a local proprietor, the priests prayed to their gods and went to confront the evil men wielding their powers of faith.  The boy, left behind for his protection, disobeyed for the first time and followed the priests.  He later said that he was “told” to go, but by whom he could not say.  When the ruffians fell upon the priests, Rhoen rose up and smote them down with their own weapons.  The folks of the town still speak of the glowing aura the engulfed the boy, the lightning like strikes he made, and the thunderous power with which he struck down the ruffian leader.  Realizing the boy was destined to be a hero, the priests hired a swordsman to train him the ways of the sword, all the while continuing his studies of the church. He grew stronger and wiser and became a talented swordsman.But one night, not so long ago, the High Priest had a vision of Rhoen in a far off land and knew that the boy, now a man, had a destiny that he must fulfill.  Supplying him as best they could, the boy headed out to meet his destiny.  Because he is Aasimar, he will have the negative modifiers listed above.Ghostwise Halfling DruidIn case there are too many ECL shifts going around, this guy can be who I play.  Ogden Pathfinder learned the ways of his father, the tribe shaman who advised the chief and lead the people spiritually.  Ogden’s tribe wandered the harsh northern lands for ages when they finally came upon Chondalwood, where they settled, at least as much as the nomadic tribe could settle.  When Ogden came of age, he was unable to find his “totem” and was sent on a “spirit quest” in which he had to leave the tribe until such time that the Great Spirit bestowed her blessing upon him and granted him his totem so that he could take over for his father as Shaman.With a great heaviness in his heart, Ogden set out on his journey wondering what deeds he would have to perform to prove his worth.</blockquote>
