I know I probably should have posted this on my current post about my character, but I don't believe it would have garnered enough attention and/or opinions/answers on that page.

My question is:
It's been suggested I should play a Fallen Paladin who has become a Sorcerer. Is there a way I can justify this?

It doesn't seem like I can, as both Paladin's and sorcerer's seem to be set in their paths since their births. But I think the DM might allow this, considering my Sorcerer would be Nuetral (True) Evil, and I think (but I'm not sure) that one of the players has an evil character (a vampire I think, which, if true, which would most likely mean I can't play a Paladin).

I'm not talking about some breaking of the rules, where he's multi or dual classed in these classes (that's not allowed, right?), Im just saying, being a paladin wouuld simply be a part of his history/bio, and have no effect on gameplay.

I'm thinking, he could have been a squire to a paladin, and then became a paladin, then strayed from the path to develope his sorcerer skills he had been supressing and denying all his life?

So far, as a history/bio for my paladin, he slayed a dragon when he was quite young (late teens), a feat that would take quite some ability - maybe he has the blood of a dragon coursing through his veins, something that Sorcerers often claim. There's a little bit of justification, right?

thanks for your opinions!
