Message: <blockquote data-quote="Georlik" data-source="post: 6748988" data-attributes="member: 6803962">I got weary of solo-oriented builds and want to create a character which would be useful to a group.I've figured a basic framework, but I'd like an advice on how to develop this character after level 8.Code-name: ChondathanA noblemant from Iljak who wishes that one day his people and habitants of Chondalwood forest will live in peace.Variant Human (Feat: Inspiring Leader)Str: 10Dex: 14Con: 14Int: 10Wiz: 10Cha: 16Background: Noble (Position of Privilege)Languages: Common, Sylvan, Giant.Tools: Dragonchess.Skills: Athletics, History, Insight, Persuasion, (1 free?)Class: Paladin (Oath of the Ancients).So my intention is to equip him with rapier and buckler, don the best medium armor, take Protection fighting style, maximize Charisma by level 8 and act as a Leader/Controller (in 4th edition terms).So my questions are:1) I still have 1 additional skill from Variant Human. Where shall i put it?2) How shall I develop this build after level 8? I know that most guides are solid on dumping intelligence, maximizing strength and taking Resilience (Con), but he is more of a diplomat rather than a fighter, obviously, and i don't like my diplomats being less intelliegent than a goblin. Still I don't want to drag my team down.3) Is there an official ruling about Find Steed (Fey) and Turn the Faithless interaction? It sems that I'll constantly scare off my destrier if I choose it to be a Fey (which is kinda fun, I guess, but thematically inappropriate).4) Shall I consider other races? I thought of a Half-Elf, but I guess having a Feat and a Maximized charisma by level 8 is more important than darkvision and fey ancestry.4) Any other advice, which make this character more interesting?</blockquote>
