[QUOTE="SteelDraco, post: 1700073, member: 359"] Human Paladin2/Rogue3 Feats: Investigate, Urban Tracking, and a combat feat - probably TWF would be best for this character. Skills: Max out Sense Motive, Search, Gather Information, and Knowledge (Local). Diplomacy is probably a better bet than Bluff, since paladins don't tend to lie too often. And then play him like Batman - he has a cause, and sticks to it, with a strong moral code. Some stealth and maybe some breaking and entering skills wouldn't be bad. I played a similar character recently (Batman-based paladin/rogue, though someone else in the party played the actual investigator). Had a great time with him, though I played him kind of like a swashbuckler. Or you could go straight human Diviner5. It's amazing how much stuff you can find out that way, particularly if your DM is willing to allow 3rd party divination stuff. Mongoose did a pretty decent book on Divination in their magic series, as I recall. That would be an interesting character for a detective-based game. [/QUOTE]
