Power for a Paladin

[Winston Colt]

Hi all

A player in my Kingmaker game wanted to play a character who came from a wild background (drinking, brawling) and slowly learnt to become a paladin. Hes played through 1st level as a warrior (not using Detect Evil or Smite) and Im looking to introduce a character or event that will 'show him the light' and guide him towards paladinhood.

Hes lowered his power (not using smite) for a level and I applaude his effort in developing his characters personallity but I dont want him to have to do this for another level.

My first idea was that when Akiros (Stag Lords number 2) turned to the PCs side he would mentor the character but though a couple of unlucky events Akiros is now dead.

Any ideas or suggestions for a character to become a paladin?

Jhod could take him under his wing and mentor him to be a paladin of Erastil. That is what has happened to several NPCs in our game. Jhod is sort of become the "fixer of broken lives" by healing crushed spirits and lost souls.

You could have Jhod talk to him several times, seeing the potential in him to be a great paladin, then have Erastil send him a dream about a certain lost temple. Completing the quest to restore that temple could grant him paladinhood.

Just one possible avenue. Alternatively, whoever the High Priest role in your kingdom is could mentor him if that is more appropriate to his character's personality.

A paladin of who would be my first question.

isnt there a lost temple in mod 1?

We've got a holy gun of Cayden Cailean in our group who is no end of fun. Think of a young Don Quixote, with a deep seated need to make the wrongs in the world right -- often by drunken happenstance of course. He's been a wandering agent of good for what little of his life he can remember (outside the drunken haze). Feel free to use Tellen from Absolom as a wandering NPC if it works for your game -- it might be a nice link is with the character's drunken brawling background...
