Xenlos, Halfling Paladin of Sarenrae


Homebrew and House Rules


Hello,

I have recently decided to take my first attempt at homebrewing a character based off of my favorite character that I've ever made for Pathfinder. Xenlos Belorin, the Paladin of Sarenrae. I tried to adhere to the rules of 24 and 22 the best I could, I think I overtuned the powers a little bit. Also once I got to the roles, I think I got a lot of out of control. The Redeemer Role was significantly easier for me to make, as it's how I played the character, behind all sorts of redemption and diplomacy, while I wanted to make something contrasting that could still fit Sarenrae in the second role. If it makes any difference, I intend to use this character for mainly the Rise of the Runelords path and potentially maybe Skull and Shackles down the road.

Any and all advice, criticism, and such is very much appreciated, thanks!

I gave so many allies because I figured both of his main abilities require allies to use, so having a plentiful amount was a good idea. This also assists in giving Xenlos a bit of Explore power if needed in a high person game, although ideally he'd be running through the blessings first. I'm worried the Cultist of Dawnflower role gives a little TOO much towards combat checks, but I wasn't overly worried about it as it helps make up for the d6 strength die. I tried as best as I could to adhere to the rules of 24 and rule of 22ish, 24 I think I did a good job of keeping too, 22 i think I got a bit out of hand.

Anyway, if you took the time to look at this, thank you, and thanks again for any advice.
