Worst part of making a character

[Dustiness]

Well a rogue / paladin could just be a roguish fellow who was taken on as a squire and led toward a more righteous path. Bit of a cliché storyline, but it works :3

Hold up, hold up. When the DM says "Skill check," if you don't say, "...shit," then you're not getting the full paladin experience.

I can totally see a rogue/paladin, though. There are a lot of skills that can turn a paladin into a stalker of evil (versus a big, shiny bug zapper of evil), and just imagine being able to spot the sneaky bastards!

Sounds like you're discussing a Shadowbane Stalker

[roguethree]

No, I was talking about a good class.

[FoogooFish]

I remember when HM and I first started playing here, HM was a rogue/paladin with Darius and had the intention to go Shadowbane Stalker. I distinctly remember him telling me, "Hey honey, this Dain guy says that's a dumb idea and I should be a full paladin. I think I'm going to reroll. He seems like he knows what he's talking about."

True story.

Yet another example of Dain's unresistable charm and charisma.

Hold up, hold up. When the DM says "Skill check," if you don't say, "...shit," then you're not getting the full paladin experience.

There really should be a message that pops up in the chat box that says "You just remember to stand there and look pretty" anytime the DM asks Ryland(a) for a roll and he's not even a paladin. (He's not even a he right now either but I still love you anyway Kasso)

Back on topic, the worst part of charcter creation for me is getting the PC to actually look the way I want them to.

[Saulus]

Dain only powerbuilds because I told him to.

[roguethree]

That's actually true.

I still put skill points in cross-class perform and knowledges.

[Thief Of Navarre]

I always imagined Keldorn firecam as a paladin/rogue for some reason. Strikes me as the type *shrugs*

*edit* Back on topic as many of you have said: Finding a character that is flexible enough to survive sundren without becoming stale. That's the test of a character's worth imo!

[Dustiness]

Rogue / Paladin is actually really good as a class choice because one of a paladin's main weaknesses is that they come up against a row of traps and a locked door and they're screwball scrambled. That said, I have to agree with RogueThree in that a paladin's interractions with a sly roguish character can make for some delightful roleplay. It's sometimes worth building in a weakness just for the sake of roleplay.

The only locked door that stands a chance against righteous fury is at least 2 feet thick and made of adamantine. And, I don't know about Sundren, but most places don't have doors of that quality just standing around. Traps, however... those are a problem for the standard tincan.
