Hi all.
I'm creating a character right now who doesn't actually use the class, but is going for the idea of the Ruby Rose Knight. The RRK is a paladin of Sune Firehair, the goddess of passion and beauty in the forgotten realms.
I'm going to be using Lesser Aasimar, with perhaps the idea that he's distantly related to Sune herself.
So he's going to be cocky, narcissistic, just an all around high ego. Very much in love with himself, but he wants others to love him too. But with the actual charisma to back it up most of the time, at least. So he's going to sell himself as the Ruby Rose Knight, wearing rose red plate armor and a sword with a rose-shape pommel.
So I've got the fluff down mostly, but the build is something I think could be better. Combat wise, I think I'd go for buffing/commanding. Something like bard music + White Raven stuff from the Tome of Battle.
So maybe some bard levels and some crusader levels. He'll for sure have a 20 or higher Cha, so I wanted Divine Grace from paladin levels to give him a giant buff on saves, but I'm not sure the 2 levels of pally are worth it.
Maybe Marshal instead of bard? Hmm. Any advice you guys might have on the build would be much appreciatd. Thanks.
