I changed the stats and turned him into bladesinger from the get-go. changed the weapon too, it is BLADE singer, not Axe singer

I believe yours would be effective build, but PbP is so slow that I don't want to play a paladin only to have the adventure fizzle before I start as a bladesinger
As for this adventure: I wanted something like grimm reaper, polearm fighter - but a) that would be low-int, low-cha character and b) it could overshadow your resident melee character with 2d4+10 000 from STR and crit x4
and b) what's interesting in that
So I thought, I'll make a witch...but you need some melee support.
So I decided to go Alchemist - bombs first to soften, then mutagen melee. I need some good story to get it going - but finding underground well of magical plants + alchemist knowledge = profit! I could easily join you deep underground as I research this or that component.
