[QUOTE="Mandragola, post: 6370158, member: 6779173"] I'm thinking about taking a human oath of vengeance paladin. Human Paladin Soldier S 16 (14+1 for human, +1 for heavy armour master) D8 C14 I10 W10 C16 (15+1 for human) Take heavy armour master at level 1 to be a tough tanky guy. Skills will be athletics and intimidate from background, Insight and Persuasion from Paladin and one other free choice. I might go with deception because I have the idea that he's been infiltrating the cult of the dragon posing as an army deserter. Plan to go with duelist fighting style and oath of vengeance, to be able to put the hurt on things. Background-wise this guy is an experienced soldier who has been around a bit, seen some bad things and decided he wants to do something about it. We might be playing the hoard of the dragon queen adventure so maybe I'll give him a bit of the altered background from that. I'm not sure about alignment. The book says vengeance paladins tend towards lawful neutral but I'm actually thinking neutral good might be more appropriate. That would represent someone who was prepared to break the rules where necessary for the greater good - though I'm not sure whether he'd go as far as a LN paladin might. He likes to play the dumb brute and trick information out of people, not necessarily go around torturing and burning the baddies. He's not really anything special from a build perspective I think. This is a fairly obvious set of stats I think and he should be a decent all-rounder that I can have fun playing. [/QUOTE]
