Aklo Dragonkeeper's page

At this time I am going to pull my Character from the selection process. One of the games I was in that had disbanded 6 months ago suddenly restarted so with the other ones I have recently gotten into and the one I DM I think taking on this would be to much. Thanks for considering him and good luck with your game.

Recruitment will be open for a week, during which time I will try and answer any questions, with an expected close date of 19th April, Midnight GMT. I will make my selection over the following weekend and look to start the adventure on the 22nd April. The selected persons should be able to commit to posting at least once per day during the week.

As you are considering which characters you are going to include in the game I wanted to let you know I am still interested. Just an FYI this weekend I will be going back home for a weekend of RPG's with my old table group. Its a last fling before I move away from the local area in a few weeks, so I probably won't be posting on the boards much if at all from Friday until Monday when I am back on campus. That is the 19th-22nd, so if you select me I will be able to start posting on Monday, but over the weekend I probably won't be responding to any posts.

I think my profile now has everything you need, a few notes:

Kolbolds are supposed to start play with only Draconic and can pick up common with INT bonus, I dropped Draconic and picked up common thinking that he would have been young enough to forget his native tongue and learn common growing up in the temple instead.

I only kept 1 gp after buying gear to cover the cost of having his pet. Essentially I'd like it to be a miniature wyvern like lizard so I thought using the stats of a Wasp, giant would be reflective of that. It has a sting attack, but no INT score making the species a fairly dumb kind of lizard. Starting off it is just a pet, but when I reach 4th level the Beast Master takes an animal companion like a druid and I'd like this to be the one. Tak is what I named it, and it is the tribes "dragon" that they kept hence their name the dragonkeepers. If you prefer I could swap it for a dinosaur which is also on the animal companion list, it would be small size and wouldn't fly but it would have an INT score that I could train up with my Animal Handling. The amount spent on the pet is 98gp.

I put his favored class bonus into skill points.

I picked vermin as his favored enemy and added a line to his background about how the clerics used him to patrol the crypts and keep them bug free.

Aklo Dragonkeeper was only a child when the Dragonkeepr Tribe ceased to exist. Bandits, and raiders the tribe soon became to much for the local authorities to ignore. A band of adventures was assembled and they hunted down and destroyed the tribe, and reclaimed the stolen treasures the Dragonkeepers had amassed. The also found the last living child of the tribe, Aklo. Though some in the party wanted the kolbold child killed, the Cleric of Pharasma with the party took pity and brought the child, and his pet "dragon" ( a winged lizard resembling a dragon or a wyvern) back to Kaer Maga where he was raised as a ward of the church. Despite the churches best efforts to civilize the kolbod it has been hard to reign in his kolbold nature. Though he has learned well the lessons of good over evil, he still has a sporadic personality. With the recent troubles below, the church leaders think this is a good opportunity to get Aklo, "out of their hair" and use him to keep an eye on the adventures they employ. It never occurs to them that he just might be a worthy hero in his own right.

I would stat Aklo as a chaotic good ranger (beast master archetype). I would like him to start with his "dragon" pet that would become his Animal companion when he reaches 4th level. To stat the "dragon" I would suggest the Wasp, giant for stats that represent a winged lizard that would not break the rules of animal companions. I'd like him to have the Beast Bond alternate racial trait instead of the normal Crafty. For character traits I was thinking Child of the Temple making Religion a class skill, and Courageous.
