Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pickles JG" data-source="post: 6482024" data-attributes="member: 61501">Paladin of Ancients/Lore bard seems a good thematic fit for a fey divine warrior.I think you get good value out of both classes & by starting at 14 you miss out the awkward levelling part where you need to either specialise in one for a lot of levels or delay 5th/6th level key abilities. By being DEX based you remain stealthy at a small cost in AC & can keep the minimum 13 STR. You lose a bit of the class based features of both classes especially the ones that scale with level (Lay on hands) but you have those features from both. You are essentially a Paladin with weak lay on hands & melee damage but better casting & skills.Remember Bards get expertise was well as more skills which allows them to be good with a skill they do not have a very good stat in or to really excel at something else or bit of both.I think Bard 6 Paladin 6 is a very solid base with 2 swing levels that could be in either or even something else (though I do think that is unlikely to be as productive).</blockquote>
