[QUOTE="masque, post: 1517554, member: 9792"] [I]For the longest time, she was nobody special. She lived in a tiny farming village. She tended the fields and the animals. She was courted by one or two boys, and was even thinking of marriage. Then, she was Called. It was the right thing to do, heeding the Call. She left her friends and her family to do what her god bid. However much she loved her god, and knew with absolute conviction that what she was doing was Right, there was always a nagging, selfish desire to be nobody special.[/I] This is a character concept I came up with after reading a few too many paladin argument threads. A normal person (female because I can’t play male characters to save my life) who was called to be a paladin, and wants to be normal, but her convictions will not allow her to be. Essentially the one spiritual weakness that could cause her to fall from grace. I can’t see this character utilizing the special mount, and I’m looking at reducing armor proficiency to light and reducing martial weapon proficiency to farm and hunting weapons (flails, scythe, light axes). I was thinking that Endurance or Run or one of the +2/+2 feats would be a decent trade for medium and heavy armor proficiency. But I don’t know what to trade for the special mount, mostly because I’ve never played or played with a paladin so I’m not sure of its usefulness. An extra spell-like ability on the order of [I]remove disease[/I]? Spontaneous curing? Extra fighting feats? Full turning progression? Charisma bonus to AC? Feats from BoED (I don’t have it, unfortunately)? Does Unearthed Arcana suggest anything? [/QUOTE]
