It's worth adding that in non PFS games, what the GM says goes. So if he's dead set against allowing it, you have no recourse other than not playing that character build in his game.

That being said, discussing it with the GM outside of game time could convince him to allow it, because there's no RAW reason it wouldn't work.

He is going to allow it, he said so, he just thinks it's not viable Fluff wise. As far as I interpret things it is and I'm trying to garner views to sway him. He's swayable, per himself.

There is no reason that a dragon disciple has to worship dragons. They are just more in tune with their draconic heritage. No reason your god couldn't be the one bestowing the blessing either. Think about it, if you have draconic blood, and your deity sees that as a power to be used for good, they could help you to unlock it.

Furthermore, why wouldn't Apsu have any paladins? He is a lawful good deity and gold and silver dragons are often quite dedicated to the same ideals as paladins.

I could see it being kind of weird if you didn't want to be descended from a LG type of dragon, but even that should be allowable. Your blood doesn't determine your alignment (at least, not for PC's).

Well Faiths of Purity says he has no Paladins or Clerics for that matter. He can't grant divine spells per that book.

My Goal is Gold Dragon Disciple Paladin of Shelyn

Basically my GM seems to believe that it would be impossible for a Paladin to become a Dragon Disciple, because he'd lose his faith to his original god. The GM says that as the DD delves deeper into his dragonnyness he'll stop seeing the gods as being godly and view them as peers to dragons, or that he'll have to worship Apsu (who doesn't have paladins). Now if he'd flat out said that this was a no go I'd grumble and move on, but he said he'd allow it just that he feels it creates a hole backstory wise. He said if someone else could present facts/ideas that support a paladin also being a DD he'd be much less grumbly about it in general. Any help for my Gold Dragon Disciple/Paladin?
