I hadn't played dnd for a few years when my friends organized a new party. One of the players suggested it would be cool to go with a Gnome Bard/Paladin (Paladin of Freedom). I liked the idea, but had long forgotten how everything worked together. I went with this setup anyway. Before I continue a bit more about my party:
- Spirit Shaman
- Dread Necromancer
- Fighter
- Bard (3) Paladin (3) Dirgesinger (1) STR 14, DEX 14, CON 16, WIS 12, INT 10, CHA 16
Basically, we play as 2 melee and 2 ranged (me - archery and spells). And the Dread necros' summons are melee as well.
We have been playing for a while now. I think about 8 sessions and I'm level 7 now. In the meantime, I've Fallen as a paladin because my character started believing in the Dread Necro as a God. Which is one of the reasons I took a level of Dirgesinger: to affect the dead (allies) too.
I really like my character and the Bard class. I am feeling a bit lost about the paladin bit though, which is why I'm posting this. I thought of a few options;
- paying penance to become a Paladin again and continue with my current levels
- dying and rerolling a character (so I can rearrange my stats to fit better)
- persuade my gm to take the Paladin levels and restore them with Bard and some kind of penalty..
I would like to stress it's not about optimization for me, I like being a Bard and roleplaying it. I also like the role in my group as the diplomat and persuader.
Does anyone have a good idea how I could either utilize my current choices or a way to rearrange them?
I look forward to hearing your replies and thoughts.
