About Fergus DraganCaraDescription & Demeanor:
He is a tall man of strong Flan blood and a hint of Oeridian blood from his mother's side. He has blonde hair that is well trimmed and a shaved face that doesn't see a lot of growth on it. He a broad-shouldered young man with lightly tanned skin, dark blue eyes and an understanding smile. He tends to listen more than he talks but is more than willing to give his opinion if asked. He has learned, from countless lessons, it is better to have one's ears and mind open instead of your mouth. He appreciates laughter, a good story or song, and cares little for arguing over silly things.
He values hard work and admires those with the skill to craft well-made items. He has never been wealthy and often spends his coin on others. He spends his time in morning hours as the sun rises to pray and reflect. He then spends time practicing and cleaning his gear. He attempts to spend a bit of each day attending to other's needs. He likes being around people he considers friends but cares little for the company of those he sees has troublemakers. He has been known to put his gear down and help a farmer with the many chores around a farm when he travels and that seems to quickly endear him to those families. He makes friends easily due to his friendly and helpful nature. He doesn't flaunt his beliefs instead he lives by example as best he can. Asked about his beliefs he gives them freely and does not bother to judge people by their reactions. He himself struggles with is beliefs and at times questions things around him. He views his belief as a relationship with Bahamut just as his mysterious mentor taught him. He was young and at times naive to the ways of the world but his good nature and honest demeanor allowed him to see things for what they were when needed. His view of the world has changed somewhat as he has gained experience in it and has found his place in it. His belief in Bahamut's teachings have become even stronger and his desire to defend those in need and take the fight to those that attack the innocent. Now that he also has a wife and children he wishes to pass on his beliefs and teachings to his two sons... Although his wife, a healer of Pelor, as a few things to say about that. He is now twenty eight years old, wiser and at peace with the world. He has been farming, raising his young children, and teaching the young boys and girls of the surrounding community how to defend themselves, heal each other, and the teachings of Bahamut and acting as the Militia Commander of the local forces. The years have been pleasant since the breaking of the Slave Lords by he and his friends. He is very stern and disapproving of evil. He accepts no excuses for foul deeds. On the other hand, he is very compassionate, and has boundless empathy for the weak and downtrodden. He urges those around him to promote good, and tries to set an example his friend can look up to but he doesn't judge his companions and considers himself their protector and example. He gives counsel when it is desired and when he feels it is needed. Background:
Background
"Stay true to yourself and the beliefs of Bahamut. The Grandfather of Dragon's will protect you on your many journey's. Be stern in the face of Evil. Be compassionate to those in need and dispossessed. Be emphatic to the downtrodden. Be ready to forgive before you punish. Seek not to fight but be ready to do so in the name of good." With that was left the symbol of Bahamut. As he walked out he noticed the ground in front of the small house was sunk in and in the center were four large footprints...of a dragon? The trees around the house were bent away as if winds bent them. Since that day he has walked the path of the Master of the North Wind. Fergus loved his family deeply but felt that this was his calling. The youngest of five children and the third boy his father knew the young man had a desire to leave after his mentor left. He encouraged him to find his way in the world and when ready to return to their farm. After two years of adventuring that started with cleaning out the Caves of Chaos in the Yeomanry and then on to smaller ventures that lead to him making a name for himself, he joined an adventuring company. That company was asked to find a nobleman that was taken by slavers. It was this mission that sent them on a perilous journey that ended with the breaking of the Slavelord's and their power over the Wild Coast and the surrounding areas. It was here as well that he meet his wife, an adventurer and healer of Pelor. Once this venture was completed they left to go back to Woodsage in Keoland. They returned with several of the people they freed from the Slave Lords wishing to start new lives in a safer place. On his return he settled a new farm close to his parent's farm and soon took up the mantle of Militia Commander for the surrounding area. He has two children by his wife both boys are like their father and their mother. He loves his farm, his family, and the town he serves. It has been nearly a decade and now he stands in the town square listening to the King's Proclamation. He looks over to his wife and she knows that look all too well. Many a man and women who came from the slave pits of the Undercity and from Suderham knew the man's intent. Fergus was a man of duty and honor...His King called, His god called...he will go Sterich and it will be his honor to go... Statistics::

CMB:+9 / CMD:20
Hero Points: NA Feats,Skills, Languages, Traits:
Feats (5/0 - 1 creation, 3 advancement, 1 human). Toughness: You have enhanced physical stamina. Benefit: You gain +3 hit points. For every Hit Die you possess beyond 3, you gain an additional +1 hit point. If you have more than 3 Hit Dice, you gain +1 hit points whenever you gain a Hit Die (such as when you gain a level). Alertness: You often notice things that others might miss. Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on Perception and Sense Motive skill checks. If you have 10 or more ranks in one of these skills, the bonus increases to +4 for that skill. Improved Initiative (Combat) Your quick reflexes allow you to react rapidly to danger.
Vital Strike (Combat) You make a single attack that deals significantly more damage than normal. Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +6. Benefit: When you use the attack action, you can make one attack at your highest base attack bonus that deals additional damage. Roll the weapon’s damage dice for the attack twice and add the results together before adding bonuses from Strength, weapon abilities (such as flaming), precision-based damage, and other damage bonuses. These extra weapon damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit, but are added to the total. Power Attack (Combat)
Prerequisites: Str 13, base attack bonus +1. Benefit: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls. This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a one-handed weapon using two hands, or a primary natural weapon that adds 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier on damage rolls. This bonus to damage is halved (–50%) if you are making an attack with an off-hand weapon or secondary natural weapon. When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every 4 points thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2. You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage. (((NOTE- Vital Strike & Power Attack can be used together))) Traits
Benefits: You gain a +1 trait bonus on all Linguistics checks, and you begin play knowing one of the following languages (in addition to those granted by your race and Intelligence modifier): Abyssal, Aquan, Celestial, Ignan, Infernal, Protean, or Terran. (Religon) Devoted Healer:
Raised in the company of skilled healers, you were always encouraged to devote your time and energy to the welfare of others. Whenever you take 20 on a Heal check to treat deadly wounds, you restore an additional 1d4 hit points to those you aid. Magical Knack Magic Trait You were raised, either wholly or in part, by a magical creature, either after it found you abandoned in the woods or because your parents often left you in the care of a magical minion. This constant exposure to magic has made its mysteries easy for you to understand, even when you turn your mind to other devotions and tasks. Benefit: Pick a class (PALADIN) when you gain this trait—your caster level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t raise your caster level above your current Hit Dice. Drawbacks: Family Ties Your family is extremely important to you, and you feel disheartened when you can’t do what they ask.
Effect(s) When a family member makes a request of you, you must fulfill that request or take a –2 penalty on all Wisdom– and Charisma-based ability checks and skill checks until you either do what was requested or succeed at a DC 20 Will saving throw, which you can attempt once per day at the start of each day. You can’t take this drawback if you have no family. If you ever lose your family or lose contact with your family, exchange this drawback for the Doubt drawback. Weapon and Armor Proficiency Paladins are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor (heavy, medium, and light), and with shields (except tower shields).

Spoiler:
Paladin Abilities:
Aura of Good (Ex)
Detect Evil (Sp)
Detect Evil spell notes:
You can sense the presence of evil. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject. 1st Round: Presence or absence of evil. 2nd Round: Number of evil auras (creatures, objects, or spells) in the area and the power of the most potent evil aura present. If you are of good alignment, and the strongest evil aura’s power is overwhelming (see below), and the HD or level of the aura’s source is at least twice your character level, you are stunned for 1 round and the spell ends. 3rd Round: The power and location of each aura. If an aura is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location. 1 Except for Undead and Outsider, which have their own entries on the table. 2 Some characters who are not clerics may radiate an aura of equivalent power. The class description will indicate whether this applies. Lingering Aura: An evil aura lingers after its original source dissipates (in the case of a spell) or is destroyed (in the case of a creature or magic item). If detect evil is cast and directed at such a location, the spell indicates an aura strength of dim (even weaker than a faint aura). How long the aura lingers at this dim level depends on its original power: Original Strength Duration of Lingering Aura
Animals, traps, poisons, and other potential perils are not evil, and as such this spell does not detect them. Creatures with actively evil intents count as evil creatures for the purpose of this spell. Each round, you can turn to detect evil in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.
Smite Evil 2/day(Su)
In addition, while smite evil is in effect, the paladin gains a deflection bonus equal to her Charisma modifier (if any) to her AC against attacks made by the target of the smite. If the paladin targets a creature that is not evil, the smite is wasted with no effect. The smite evil effect remains until the target of the smite is dead or the next time the paladin rests and regains her uses of this ability. At 4th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the paladin may smite evil one additional time per day, as indicated on Table: Paladin, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level. Divine Grace (Su)
Lay On Hands (Su) 7/day 3d6 healing
Alternatively, a paladin can use this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures, dealing 1d6 points of damage for every two levels the paladin possesses. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity. Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage. Aura of Courage (Su)
Divine Health (Ex)
Shared Defense (Su) (Divine Defender)
This ability replaces Mercy. Channel Positive Energy (Su) (need to set up)
Spells
To prepare or cast a spell, a paladin must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a paladin’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the paladin’s Charisma modifier. Like other spellcasters, a paladin can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Paladin. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Charisma score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells). When Table: Paladin indicates that the paladin gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, she gains only the bonus spells she would be entitled to based on her Charisma score for that spell level. A paladin must spend 1 hour each day in quiet prayer and meditation to regain her daily allotment of spells. A paladin may prepare and cast any spell on the paladin spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation. Through 3rd level, a paladin has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, her caster level is equal to her paladin level – 3 +2 (Magical Knack Trait) (currently = 5). Divine Bond (Su)
champion, ghost touch, heavy fortification, invulnerability, light fortification, moderate fortification, spell resistance (13, 15, 17, or 19) Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s cost. In addition, the bonuses can be consumed at the listed amount to add any of the following armor properties: energy resistance for +3 bonus, improved energy resistance for +5 bonus, or righteous for +4 bonus. These bonuses are added to any properties the armor already has, but duplicate abilities do not stack. If the armor is not magical, at least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. The bonus and properties granted by the spirit are determined when the spirit is called and cannot be changed until the spirit is called again. The celestial spirit imparts no bonuses if the armor is worn by anyone other than the divine defender, but it resumes giving bonuses if the divine defender dons the armor again. A divine defender can use this ability once per day at 5th level, and one additional time per day for every four levels beyond 5th, to a total of four times per day at 17th level. If a suit of armor with a celestial spirit is destroyed, the divine defender loses the use of this ability for 30 days, or until she gains a level, whichever comes first. During this 30-day period, the divine defender takes a –1 penalty on attack and weapon damage rolls. Gear/Possesions: Equipment Note
