He gets to try and raise a dragon companion from hatching day to full growth.

Hope it doesn't die!

The 'problem' is that it's a carbon copy of the inheritance cycle MC.

instead people talk shit about him because I'm not an OP homebrew class and make fun of him for being weak

be kind plz

Seems ok. I don't see why you'd be upstaged by a dude with a dragon.

Your old hobgoblin masters/family are probably going to find out that you deserted, it would be a good idea to have a dragon riding mega badass on your side for when they eventually come after you/you go after them and have to fight a goblinoid army.

If you're feeling overshadowed and inferior, just strive to act cooler than him in character without directly upsetting the other players plans and stuff.

>>52430964
Ok?

Who gives a shit? The inheritance cycle shamelessly steals from a ton of shit, and not very well at that.

>Young squire gets really exited when he discovers a dragon egg
>Starts enthusiastically trained to be a rider even before it hatches.
>Spends most of his time carrying it around and protecting it from harm
He's just a martial version of a late game carry, I'd be fine with it.

>>52430964
If the rules don't support it, just say that the dragon was a runt that was weak from not being properly hatched at the temperatures that it normally requires.

Then treat it as an animal companion with normal stats for the character's level.

>>52433133
This is a level one character?

>>52438859

This is the thing I hate the most about characters like this.

You're level one, fucker. Stop writing a god damn novel about all the shit you've done. One significant event, whatever put you over the threshold from level-0 commoner to PC, and that's all you should really have if you're here to tell a cooperative story

>>52438238
Sauce?

Also, that's actually a pretty cool idea. obligatory "no campaign gets past level 10"

>>52431018

Did you guys miss the part where he got his ass handed to him for trying to take on a fortress of dudes?

I've never gotten this kind of mentality. If you want your character to be cool before they begin their adventuring career, its fine. Let them. Normal people do extraordinary things all the time.
This shit is tame compared to some of the worse godly-level-1-nobody backstories anyway.

beastmaster ranger with a toned-down wyrmling for companion
his character arch is finding means to speed up the wyrmling's age, so he can actually ride him someday because those things take ages to mature

>>52439026
So he's only level one because he hasn't won battles and got mad XP?

Dunno, I just (poorly) edited this.
Think it's just from a drawthread.

Oh.

Well good job, you fooled me. I wish that meant more

>>52438238
General rule of thumb. Don't make a character that can only exist if another character exists. What happens if that one player is not present that session or dies off.

Make sure you make a character that can stand on their own two feat, the "bodyguard" style of character is fine but don't make that be your whole thing

>>52443743
Games I'm in don't go on unless everyone's there.

Slip the player a list of topics that my character is likely to broach with them. This gives him time to think of something before I put him on the spot during character interaction.
