Paladin of Bahamut

[lumen11]

Does this sound logical.

I want to make a paladin that is a little less shiny then the ordinary paldin, but Bahamut's dogma might be a little too subtle for a paladin.

How about this:

Paladin 9 / Sorcerer 1 /Dragon Disciple (Gold or Silver) 10

For Sorc spells, take True Strike and Feather Fall. (Why? Only verbal components!)

Nice Nutshell, Nifft!

But you can't return to you paladin then, which would stop the progress of your mount, or does it continue with other classes?

Your god's a dragon, right? I'll bet you can wrangle some kinda special dispensation.

Using the Slayers Guide to Dragons, from Mongoose, as a source, there IS info on this in that book.

Bahamut DOES have paladins, as noted above, they are Gold and Silver dragons.

Hmmmm

would he have any use for a human paladin then? He should I guess. There aren't that much dragons.

Which prestige class allow a paladin to return to it's class btw?

A while ago somebody posted a Prestige Class called the dragoon, they were warriors dedicated to the Platinum Dragon so that might fit in nice. You will have to do a search by user name.

I created one for a oneshot adventure maybe a bit overpowered but for the most part it worked great.

A player in my gamed had a half-dwarf/half-gold dragon paladin/sorcerer. I let him freely jump back and forth. I was also going to let him use his paladin turning ability to breathe more often rather than turn, but he focused on sorcerer enough that he never made paladin 3 (also because of the ECL mod for half-dragon).

Overall, it worked out quite nicely. The character was about the right power level as the rest of the group. He also had a different sort of personality.

He was all self-sacrificing and definitely qualified as extremely lawful and extremely good. Because he was a sorcerer, he was unwilling to risk any heavier armor than a chain shirt. He was disgustingly obese. He drank like a fish, but with his 24ish constitution he almost never got drunk.

He also had a tendancy to hoard treasure the group found -- he was half dragon, after all. Since he was easily the strongest character, the group tended to give him a lot to carry. Things like gems and coins that the group never remembered to divide up stayed in his posession. He also always seemed to have a darn good reason why the best magic picks should go to him ("That +2 axe we found is by a legendary dwarven smith, an artifact of my people. Yes, I know I've got two magic weapons already and yours was just sundered, but you certainly wouldn't expect me to ignore my people's legacy, now would you. That's a good fighter."

So, very much not so shiny. Very much paladin. Very much dragon.

What a nice idea. Now that I think about it, it'd be nice to let Sorcerers burn 4-5 spell levels to breathe again, too.
