Yo, hi! All sources allowed. If 3rd party DM must read and accept.
I'm playing an Elven Paladin focused on a Two Handed Sword (with Finesse). The goal is to be a party face, a competent bruiser and somehow the party healer. The character is focused in Dex and Cha. So far she is a level 3 Paladin with Wedded to History (Dragon Magazine, 3.5), Fey Foundling (PF) and Nymph Kiss (3.5). Weapon Finesse with Race Points. All those feats are for character concept.
Now, I love the fluff of the Champion of Corellon but the requirement feats are not very cool (and the bonus feats are not best either since Combat Expertise nerf). Plus, Elegant Strike (Dex to damage) now is possible with a weapon enchantment in PF. Maybe the only advantage would be Lay of Hands. But sticking to full Paladin will get me better Lay of Hands (because of Mercy). I'm not worried about the caster levels because the original idea is to get the Paladin Variant from Complete Champion that loses spells and gets feats.
Is the Prestige Class worth it? Or should I stay with full Paladin and get stuff like Sword of the Arcane Order and Battle Blessing? Any other Prestige Class to help me reach my goals?
