[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 2644077, member: 14041"] Well, if you like spellcasters try a Warlock (CN fighting of that E) as a new twist. Dark and driven doesn't sound like you so far, so this could be a new path. Your PC wants to be good, he is just have trouble sometimes destinguishing between what is Good and what is Good For Me. A little too "Ends Justify the Means" kinda guy. But he can get the job done. I played, in one shot, a zealous Cleric of a God of Adventurers who was alwasy going on about "The Forging of Our Souls" - a path to enlightenment and ascendence that occured through the testing of your abilites and spirit in difficult persuits. The Cleric carried a big hammer and would wave it at enemies, NPCs, and fellow PCs and ask "Are you ready for the testing of your sould and the forging of your destiny?" or the like. Ranks in Perform(oratory) and i might have enentually taken levels in Marshal or Bard. Very fun. Think of it as an evangelical Thor. Are you starting at 1st level? If not how about a Goblin Rogue/Paladin who has seen the error of his ways and has turned to good. Of course, using SA + smite is perfectly allowable if you follow someone like Cuthbert, as long as its against the badguys. A feat in COmplete Adventurer might allow you to advence in both classes, as an outcaste paladin of the streets -not fitting in anywhere but determined to make the world a better place with his trusty riding dog at his side. I think most people either tend to play themselves or play their altar ego. I am always the high CHA leader (like real life) where as my wife, the careful and meticulous editor, always wants to be the fighter. While it can be one diminsional, try and take a character from fiction and apply it to your PC. Play at being that character and not you and over time the result will be somewhere in between. Batman as an Urban Ranger or Rogue/Monk. Angel and a teifling (or vampire)Paladin. Merry or Pippin as halfling rogue/bard. Van Helsing as the quentisential Cleric/Ranger. Sherlock Holmes as a Rogue/Investigator. [/QUOTE]
