[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 4255201, member: 30610"] I just wanted you to understand that in a case like this I can't assume that life and hps are the same because people do turn up with strange custom homebrew rules where they are not the same. Things that are unambiguous to you are not automatically unambiguous to your readers. You can and should be laid back normally - but as soon as you start introducing custom rules and then don't say where they start and stop, everything is up in the air and even normal things become iffy. Yeah, normally I see Paladins run as damage dealers/backup tanks and Fighters run as tanks. If you're running "sword and board" I guess you could have higher AC (and I'm assuming higher saves) so it's a reasonable role swap. The feat Stream suggested, Stand Still, works better if you take another feat with it called Hold the Line, which gives you an AOO before someone leaves a threatened square instead of after. Bo9S also has a stance you can get with a single level in Crusader that will do the same thing. (I would highly recommend at least 1 Crusader level if you have access to it.) Also, you never posted your stats; you just said you rolled well. There are some feats which are more or less important depending on your stats. If you really want to have a great AC as well as good saves, the best way to do that is to be a battle sorc/paladin with levels in Ab Champ . . . but that gets into total character design overhaul, which I normally don't like to suggest.
