Elven only playing Kingmaker
Was thinking of going Ranged (bow) Paladin
This is my idea
Pal (Divine Hunter) 2
War (Dragonheir Scion archetype) 3 or Archer 3
Pal (Divine Hunter)+
This are my thoughts:
1) Get pal 2 to get the smite and the great saves (with Divine Grace) while maintaining +1 BAB progression.
2) Either Dragonheir Scion -free Arcane Strikes in place of 1 war feat, an additional free feat, +1 in Intim, and at lv 3, +1 Nat armor and +5 energy resist. Has the Dragonheir roleplay paladin aspect for Kingmaker game.
OR
3) Archer +1 perception, 2 free feats, ranged disarm at -4
Both archetypes lose Armor training at lv 3. Was thinking going Breastplate which is +3 mod. With a ranged paladin, is it typical to go much over a 16 with all the different stats leaching points?
Or is it that big of a deal to keep the armor training (dont see ranged needing a ton of movement due to range of now)?
Archer has the ranged disarm which is nice. The Divine Hunter wont allow heavy armor anyway so BP is the way to go it seems (mithral BP?)
Or just go 3 lvs plain Jim fighter (or chunk the whole thing and stay paladin!!!)??
What do you guys think?
Be a Ranger2(archery:Rapid Shot)/Paladin(core, the rest), and you'll have a stronger character overall with more useful skills. Take Dangerously Curious if you want UMD. Quick Draw to rapidly cycles bows, polearms, and short weapons. Choice a mount for your bond (since Kingmaker is mostly outside). Power Attack and Deadly Aim to round out. Or the Fey Foundling/Greater Mercy mechanic.
Don't expect to do ranged-disarm very often. (And: dead enemies aren't a threat anyway.)
