So I started a new campaign as a Paladin of Apsu without much thought into my character. Now we have advanced to Level 2 and I have determined that a "Warrior-Poet" of Apsu is my calling.
My thoughts are Paladin-2/Bard-7/DD-4
or Paladin-2 Straight Bard.
Which do you guys think is the better combination.
The party is a Swashbuckler, Investigator, Arcanist, Barbarian, and Cleric so every role is filled. The adventure has been in Osirion so far
I have given consideration to straight Paladin but the 2 skill points per level are killing me.

Essentially just a melee capable guy with skills like Perform "Oratory" Knowledge: History etc.
Int: 11, Wis: 8: Cha: 14; Str: 18
Some ties to Apsu of course. Apsu followers are usually wanderers so I kind of had a medieval Jack Reacher vibe going.
Mainly I'm thinking a paladin-2/class-x with a 4 level dip into DD for thematic reasons. So it's really skald/bard/oracle to pair with my Paladin. either Paladin focus afterwards or the caster

If you're interested in DD Might I suggest draconic Bloodrager? it can replace DD or lead into DD. If not needing DD celestial bloodline syncs well with paladin.
If interested more in skills I would go bard with a selfish archetype. Having a weak inspire courage that takes a standard actions seems like an ability you wont actually use. But having archaeologist or busker or even dervish means more use of the ability, even if it's just me getting the bonus.

When I think of a 'Warrior Poet' I think of someone that writes, but not necessarily performs poetry. Someone who having to face the grim reality of combat turns to poetry as a means to understand and express these complex feelings. William Buttler Yeats is a great real world example.
If that is what you want, the skill would probably be profession: poetry, not perform: oratory. You can be good at writing poetry, without necessarily being a performer.

this is good insight

12 int or human, favored class, makes it four. Do it every other level or talk to your gm in order to get a few extra points for to reasons.
You make up for it in RP fun and in character power for being one class.

A few dips into Monk (Unchained or Reg) with Master of Many Styles archetype. Free Unarmed Strike should you find yourself unarmed, you get extra skill points, Perform as a class skill, free style feats of your choice, few other benefits here and there for a couple levels of dip, then focus on Paladin the rest of the way.
Nice thing about MoMS you can take the weapon style feats, so plenty of variety and choices.
