Private tutor to the wizarding elite.

Because I'm literally a private tutor. And if I could legit study magic, I'd be all over that.

Fun story. I played a pally on my first run of Shattered Star. (Once as a player, now I'm DMing a run of it with a different group.)

My Pally followed Sarenrae, who is moderately obsessed with redemption. So When stuff wasn't evil, but was still on the wrong side of things, I'd try and sit them down and talk about their life choices. Which ended up with some fantastically hilarious situations.

there are also plenty of unrepentingly evil funsies in the AP, but moreso toward the later books.

So if you want to play a more evangelical type pally, then I think it'd work great. But a Paladin of Torag might have some problems.

And if you opt to play a Paladin of Sarenrae, (or any divine character of Sarenrae) I made these fun little pamphlets for a convention one time. https://www.dropbox.com/s/iunkzsvm53iqe52/Sarenrae_Pamphlet.pdf?dl=0

I didn't end up being able to go, but they've been fun to print out and take to some of my local game groups...

DM: Okay, we'll go around an introduce yourselves.
Eventually gets to me: I am Jezriel, a humble paladin. Have you heard the good news of Sarenrae? /hands out pamplets to everybody.

sorry for a super late reply, but I have a paladin of Sarenrae that I really love playing.

She basically opens fights with an attempt at diplomacy if they're not obviously demonic, but acknowledges that they only have one chance to surrender before the party will move forward so that I don't drag down the party too much.

If they seem redeemable at all though, she will continue trying to talk them down during the fight and accepts the BBEG surrender at any point if it is made.

Basically, I've modeled her after the character of Michael Carpenter from the Dresden Files who, (spoilers for the most recent book) tries to save someone who is possessed by a fallen angel at a critical point in the battle instead of just slaying him.

Hello!

I've got a group of friends that all like Pathfinder, but we've never had a huge chance to really invest in mounted characters. So we're looking for an adventure path where mounted combat is actually worth investing in. I'm just not really sure where to start.
