He understands that while important, pure martial and battlefield prowess alone can’t protect people in all situations and that simple skills, tricks, and spells when used judiciously can often produce a tactical advantage. His philosophy is, "The priests may pray for the common folk's safety, but I do what's necessary to ensure it."</p><p> </p><p>As a side note, I also built a Paladin 13, Fighter 7 character that is an alternative with more battlefield options (additional maneuvers) although the spell slot and therefore divine smite potential was the same. Ultimately, I like the seedier nature of taking rogue from a story standpoint. I think it captures the fine line this guy is walking between confronting the darkness and succumbing to it.</p><p></p><p><u><strong>Total Class Levels</strong></u>: Paladin 12, Fighter 5, Rogue 3</p><p>In order of progression: Paladin 2, Fighter 5 (Battle Master), Paladin 1 (Oath of Vengeance), Rogue 1, Paladin 1, Rogue 2 (Arcane Trickster), Paladin 8</p><p></p><p><strong><u>Key Features

Opportunity Attack within 10’ or if the opponent uses Disengage or if they attack someone else, within 5’, can attack, turning their movement to zero if hits.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Supported by Paladin Spells, a few 1st level utility Wizard Spells, and Combat Maneuvers.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Has decent AC and attack with potential for some good damage output.</li>

[QUOTE="SullyGamer, post: 6403878, member: 6782242"] EDITED: Fixed the con mistake. Okay, here’s the updated (man I hope I got it right this time!) character build for the concept I had of a front-line warrior character stressing battle field control with balanced AC and damage and I'd greatly appreciate any feedback. The character concept is a leader/talker for the party who saw too many good people suffer needlessly when he was a soldier and has dedicated himself to protect those that can’t protect themselves (servant of Helm), whatever the cost may be. He understands that while important, pure martial and battlefield prowess alone can’t protect people in all situations and that simple skills, tricks, and spells when used judiciously can often produce a tactical advantage. His philosophy is, "The priests may pray for the common folk's safety, but I do what's necessary to ensure it." As a side note, I also built a Paladin 13, Fighter 7 character that is an alternative with more battlefield options (additional maneuvers) although the spell slot and therefore divine smite potential was the same. Ultimately, I like the seedier nature of taking rogue from a story standpoint. I think it captures the fine line this guy is walking between confronting the darkness and succumbing to it. [U][B]Total Class Levels[/B][/U]: Paladin 12, Fighter 5, Rogue 3 In order of progression: Paladin 2, Fighter 5 (Battle Master), Paladin 1 (Oath of Vengeance), Rogue 1, Paladin 1, Rogue 2 (Arcane Trickster), Paladin 8 [B][U]Key Features [/U][/B] [LIST] [*]Human for extra feat (Sentinel) and swap first ability increase for feat (Dual Wielder) [*]Fights with 1h/shield until 6[SUP]th[/SUP] level, then switches to 1h/whip for reach. [*]Can use Sneak Attack and can trip opponents within 10’ with whip. [*]Can make an Opportunity Attack within 10’ or if the opponent uses Disengage or if they attack someone else, within 5’, can attack, turning their movement to zero if hits. [*]Supported by Paladin Spells, a few 1st level utility Wizard Spells, and Combat Maneuvers. [*]Has decent AC and attack with potential for some good damage output. [/LIST] [B][U]Questions[/U][/B] [LIST=1] [*]Does the order of classes make the most sense? [*]Should the 4[SUP]th[/SUP] level of Paladin come after the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] level of Rogue?
