[QUOTE="Tatsukun, post: 1823308, member: 15511"] Hi all, I am making a new PC and I need some help / advice. The overall goal is to have a front line fighter type that's also fun to play out of combat. To do that, I want to pump up the skills (like Diplomacy, Sense motive, Knowledge (anything), other role playing type skills.) So, here is what I am thinking… Oh, it's 32 point buy, 3rd level 2,700Gp to start Sir Matar Bahram, Paladin of the White. 32 year old male human Ranger 1 / Paladin 2. STR 15 DEX 12 CON 14 INT 14 WIS 10 CHA 14 Feats = Exotic weapon Bastard sword, Weapon focus B. Sword, Combat Expertise COMBAT Primary attack - (MW) Bastard Sword +7 Melee 1D10 +2 Other Melee +5 Ranged Attack +4 AC (Full plate, Large Steel Shield, Dex) 21 HP 16 + 2D10 SAVES - Fort (+9) Reflex (+5) Will (+2) OUT OF COMBAT Skills (bonus) Climb (4) Concentration (6) Diplomacy (8) Know (Dungeon) (6) Know (Nature) (6) Know (Royalty) (3) Know (Religion) (3) Listen (4) Ride (5) Search (6) Sense Motive (2) Spot (4) Survival (4) So, here are the questions. I am thinking about pulling the Strength down to 14 and upping the Dex to 14. That way he might be able to get down to medium armor some day. Then again, 4th level will put Str up to 16. This guy will go to Ranger 1 / Paladin 4 and then go Kensei, so I'm not worried about spells. He can use a wand if need be. Speaking of wands, what do people think of the idea of a small shield and a wand in the off hand. Are there any good Paladin spells for battle wands? This guy's real value in battle is that he can use the bastard sword one handed with a shield, or can use it two handed if need be. The goal is to get an Adamantine sword before Kensei. What do people think I should do with the money? Skills? The feat at 6th level? Thanks for the help ! -Tatsu [/QUOTE]
