Message: <blockquote data-quote="Justin" data-source="post: 2259234" data-attributes="member: 21262">Greetings all,I'm starting in an existing campaign this weekend.  I met with the DM a few weeks ago andbuilt a character, but I'd like to hear whatever advice, comments and/or constructivecriticism people here may have.  This is only my second time playing D&D above OD&Dand AD&D years ago, and the first time only lasted a few sessions for me with a HumanDruid 1 (I ended up leaving for personal reasons).The Paladin is to be ECL 12.  (I'm concerned about starting out with a high-level character,since I haven't grown into him, it's kinda like being given someone else's superhero to play.)Anyway, here are my thoughts on race and class:Human Paladin 12Human Paladin 10 / Knight of the Chalice 2Aasimar Paladin 11Aasimar Paladin 10 / Knight of the Chalice 1Also, any of the above could maybe lead to either Justicar of Tyr or Divine Disciple later.Or I could just be happy with a pure Paladin.Attributes (rolled): Str 14 (13 + 1 @ lvl12), Dex 12, Con 16, Int 12, Wis 16 (15 + 1 @ lvl4),Cha 16 (15 + 1 @ lvl8)Obviously being an Aasimar would increase Wis and Cha to 18, definitely a big plus for thisguy, though at the cost of LA+1, since he'll also be the face of the party.  (Off the top ofmy head, IIRC, the rest of the party is a Gold Dwarf Cleric, Halfing? Psion, and Fire Genasi Shadow Mage?)HP 12d10+30 (106)AC 22 (+8 armor, +2 shield, +1 dex, +1 ring)AL LGThe campaign is currently (and likely to remain) heavily demon-based (demonic orcs rightnow), hence the KoC choice.The build I currently have (in HeroForge) is Human Pal10/KoC2 as follows:Skills: Diplomacy +18 (13 ranks), Handle Animal +8 (5), Knowledge (religion) +13 (12),Knowledge (the planes) +8 (7), Ride +8 (5), Sense Motive +16 (13).Feats: Power Attack, Cleave, Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack, maybe Weapon Focus (longsword) orExotic Weapon Proficiency (khopesh), maybe Glorious Weapons (from Complete Divine).(Also, one or two less feats if I'm an Aasimar, can someone clarify that?)He has a Hippogriff mount.His deity will be either Horus-Re if I decide to make him from either Unther or Mulhorand (campaign currently taking place in Unther) or Tyr, in which case he's probably from TheDalelands (Chondathan).Weapon of choice is either longsword, scimitar or khopesh.  If I take khopesh (Horus-Re'sfavored weapon), I need EWP (Khopesh), though according to the DM, the mostcommon swords in the area are scimitars.  WF(longsword) would be for in case he ever comesacros a Holy Avenger (fat chance, probably), though I imagine the DM could simply makea HA scimitar or khopesh given the setting.Equipment: +3 breast plate, +1 light steel shield of light fortification, +1 holy scimitar(or other appropriate sword), +1 ring of protection, 5525 GP remaining.So, any input?Thanks,Justin</blockquote>
