Hi all, I need some help with choosing feats. I am making a PC who is modeled (roughly) after Li Mu Bai (from Crouching tiger, hidden dragon) with bits of Samurai Jack and maybe even Dak’kon (from Planescape Torment).
I want a guy whose mind is always focused and whose fighting style is always controlled, never wild. So, I have really fallen in love with the idea of a Paladin 5 / Kensei X.
So, this guy is 1st level, human, and 32 point buy. Here is what I’m thinking…
Sir Bherad the pure, Human Paladin 1,
Str 15
Dex 14
Con 14
Int 14
Wis 10
Cha 12
Skills (4 ranks each) Concentration, Diplomacy, Heal, Ride, Sense Motive
Hp = 12, AC = 16 (scale mail)
Feats = Weapon Focus Greatsword, Combat expertise
Ok, so the feats are bothering me. I just can’t find anything I like. I need weapon focus and combat expertise for Kensei, but that leaves me with one more before I take Kensei.
At 6th level, I’ll probably take Leadership, and maybe improved critical at 9th. But, then again, I can just make a keep weapon as a kensei. In total, I am planning to play this guy up to about 12th level or so (I’m moving in two years). That is a total of 6 feats.
Also, that is 7 levels of Kensei, so what kind of enchantments should I make? I’m thinking Holy or Lawful would be good.
Finally, skills, Ride will go to 5 ranks at 2nd level and stay there, so will Heal. So what should I put these ranks into (I’ll have two extras each level).
So, I need some help. I’m not looking for power here, I’m looking for something to match the flavor of the PC. That of a very lawful, controlled, no sense of humor type of warrior who is appalled at the injustice he sees in the world and has set out to do as much good as possible.
Thanks for the help in advance
