[QUOTE="Ravenwing, post: 2591761, member: 36623"] My only character to truly retire was a 15th level fighter/ 9th level mage from 2nd ED. I tihnk of all my characters he was the one that I was really allowed to develop the most. He defeated, a great wrym shadow dragon singlehanded (the dm rolled realy really bad he was 9th level when he pulled it off) saving the party as they tried to escape to take out it's master. Used the gold from his adventures to build a hidden keep in the dagger hills using illusions and misdirection magics to keep people he didn't want finding it out. And slowly started building an army to help protect the dalelands. But sadly his keep was stolen and his family was killed by an evil priest of cyric, who had gained the powers of an adult gold dragon through a magical item gone haywire also driving hte priest insane due to alignment conflicts with the item. He began to study magic and vowed revenge, daring the dangers of undermountain and many other nasty places. Though he never got his revenge he found a new calling with his deity Torm, whom with he pleased to find a mor emeaningful purpose with in his life since everything he worked for had been taken from him. Torm gave him a quest and he jumped at hte opportunity to use his magic and sword. He was able to do one thing no mortal (at least as far as our campiagn went) could do. Make a fool out of Cyric himself, while he was able to untterly get the better of cyric it cost him his life. Torm seeing his devotion and determination to serve and have a meaningful purpose, granted hi ma reward that he didn't really deserve, by most of the other gods opinions, but since most of them don't like cyric they allowed. He was given demi-god status. I know moat of this seems kinda cheesy, but this brief is really trunicated we did a lot of stuff in the campaign, the Cleric who betrayed him was an actual PC, we had alot of good story plots and i think it was one of the best long running adventures i've been in in a long time. Recently i was able to bring this character back but stripped of all his powers and have him to start a new class as a paladin. He was called by torm to guide a group of adventurers in an impossible mission, which became a test of his faith and a test of who he was. It really made for a fun campaign he made it up to 10th level palidin before he was called back to demi-god status, but some of the party members ened up becoming his followers. [/QUOTE]
