[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 3543899, member: 35678"] Read more into my Half-orc Paladin; he has Charisma as his highest stat (at 24) :D:D But, I digress from your new ideas... That sound a bit fairy-tale like in regards to the nobles adopting the kid, but I'd take it as a DM :) Hmmm, with the build I had, I was trying to cover the tank and the healer role (which I could feasibly do, surprisingly enough :p); what role are you primarily trying to fill with you Paladin character? You mention role-playing as a strong point; that combined with a more martial class leads me to think your going for the 'face' role that can also kick some ass. I assume you are going for human? What about half-elf? You could trick out your diplomacy skills with that decent +2 from being a half-elf. *ALSO* have you looked over the Knight class from PHBII? The Knight is a warrior class which synergises *excellently* with the Paladin class, since they are both Charisma focused classes; and plus being a Knight from a family of nobles works out nicely RPing-wise. I suggest a few levels of this class; you even get Mounted Combat for free at 3rd (??) level. There are a few PrC's you can shoot for if you plan to go with that wind-motid you were talking about. In Unapproachable East (which is an *amazing* sourcebook, if I do say so myself) there is the Aglarondan Griffonrider, an elite mounted combatant which swoops in on her foes upon a griffon. You get a bonded mount at first level which gains special abilities; if you are a Paladin, these abilities stack up (synergy again!). The only thing is that the class is generally geared towards improving the mount, and doesn't do much for the rider himself. However, you do get 1/1 BAB, plus a pretty sweet mount - I'm just not sure how far down that path you wish to go, in reagrds to manifesting this wind motif of you character's. If you're looking to go along the Paladin of Freedom path, Complete Divine and Complete Warrior are going to be your friends in regards to Prestigue Classes; there are [i]tons[/i] of choices. Anywho, gimme a shout back if anything there struck your fancy and we'll chat some more about your new character :D cheers, --N [/QUOTE]
