D&D RP advice

Class wise, probably a Knight, Paladin, or the Aristocrat npc class.

You could also be dispossessed having your lands taken away from you by evil forces. Another idea could be playing a Sorcerer who is kicked from his home after his innate powers area revealed.

I've found that the best way to do this is to play a noble that actually cares about the common man.

He understands that his livelihood and well being comes from the positive relationship between his noble house and the people "beneath" him. Despite his noble upbringing, he's not afraid to take off his white gloves and work alongside those less fortunate. Other noble houses think that he's a sucker, but they don't realize that years of getting fucked over by other nobles has given him an uncanny knowledge of when people are abusing the systems set in place and how to counter it.

Anyone can achieve power with enough effort, but it takes a true master to maintain that power even when being handicapped by morality.

What type of character are you shooting for? A noble can be lots of things.

He could be a spelunker looking to build or strengthen his family fortune and holdings.

They could be a warrior who seeks to make his name known above his family name.

She could even be a warlock who has made a deal with a power to bring down her rivals.
