The adventure will probably be over before we achieve 6th level and you qualify for Abjurant Champion.

I'm starting to lean in the direction of Palidan, because I've dabbled in Bard briefly, but don't think I've even gone so far as to stat up a Paladin before.
My only concern is how much of a handicap a Lawful Good code will be to the party in a 'shady dealings' / political intrigue setting.
I think it's certainly do-able, but it likely involves the ability to 'bend' interpretations a bit. So, for example, Evil rulers might by default be considered illigitimate authority by a Paladin, so they wouldn't have to follow their orders. Likewise, people of questionable morality could be decieved to some extent in service to 'the greater good.' That kind of thing.
Would that be acceptable? If not, I'm more than happy to play a bard, too (seriously, the Paladin's only winning my whim by the slightest bit). But since aligment and code actually mean something to the playability of a Paladin that largely isn't in effect for other classes, I wanted to clear that up rather than assuming.

Bard it is. Oh, goodness, I just saw that Half-orcs don't have the CHA penalty in PF. Ideas they are bubbling...

I've experienced that problem myself in games. I really think the paladin's detect evil ability needs to be limited to 5 or 10 feet. That way, they wouldn't be able to use it as a "detect what's behind this door" kind of radar. It also makes it hard to deceive a group of players.
And for the record, I actually love the paladin class. I just don't like the at will detect evil the way it is written.

Oh, right. Forgot the BAB requirement made it a higher level thing.
Well, We'll see what happens, lol.

Oh, yeah! A half-orc skald would be awesome! The concept seems that way, anyway.

"Yuse be a singin' that frog croackin' songs ones mure times and I'lls be a jumpins out dat dare windows." Rezak says with a shudder. Even though everyone has caught him tapping his foot at the bards last performance.
