I'm making a paladin for a reign of winter campaign (Suli, oath of vengeance, sword and board). I'm completely lost as to which mercies I should choose. Thoughts?
The condition I come across most often seems to be fatigued. But I guess there are some paladin guides around which suggest mercies.
I would aim for conditions which you can remove when you are the one who is afflicted. So nothing that keeps you from using lay on hands and nothing you are immune to.
That means no shaken and no dazed, for example.
I didn't even think to check the Pally guides. Thank you.
IMO Fatigued is probably the best from the 3rd level list.
Also IMO the 6th level list is pretty bad. Take Sickened instead and then Nauseated, (since those are some pretty debilitating conditions you're not necessarily immune to), and Blinded to cap it all off at 12th.
From there it's kind of a matter of preference or circumstance.
I'm currently playing in a Reign of Winter PBP, and speaking from experience, I agree that fatigued is the best mercy. My character has been fatigued for about a third of the game due to cold effects, so having this mercy in a comrade would have been very helpful.
