About Donnen PhelpsBackground:
Flesh is warm and new; it oozes life, it's immediate rewards with immediate consequences. Stone is permanency; an stage of possible change built over ages. If flesh is vibrating, a door between now and then, stone is wall. It's limitless limiting. And dwarves are the lords of stone; forged by Torag himself in his great forge, made of stone with bellies full of fire. Donnen is a son of the proud, traditionalist race. Like his ancestors, his entire life was that of hardship and endurance. To his very body and soul, and maybe even more than the average Dwarf, he embodies the rock of the past and present, yet feels like a pebble on a world of constant evolution. The paladin of Torag is stoic and hard-headed as they come. His long hair and beard are so light blonded they're almost white, giving an impression that he's older than actually is: for he just barely completed his trainings, being just an young adult for the dwarven standards. Donnen's family, the Phelps from a small city near Highhelm, is that of miners and smiths of legendary talent. He would have followed the steps of his ancestors - but while still a child, a demon escaped through the wardstones and attacked his city, slaying friends and family on his path. The young one barely escaped, thrown into a coma for the next years to come. The enemy was slain, but the scars and trauma of the past worked as a calling for the child. On his dreams, Hrilga, the Shield-Maiden, spoke to him as to give a mission from Torag. The werebear spoke loudly, words like thunder, and Donnen felt pushed to the ground; yet, he would stand up to hear more, and slowly felt his very skin become stone. When he finally awoke, he held the small hammer pendant in his hands until blood started to flow, and in decisive steps went to the church to become a paladin. Despite the demon attack, Donnen's training was a lot more about fighting against undead: they were a much more common threat to the local cities and underground tunnels, and most paladins of the order had at least some ability on fighting them. Short victories came from the training of his youth, but even on the happiest moments, there was the bitter of the past awfulness still haunting his soul. Decades later, Donnen arrived in Kenabres for the Armasse. It was common for Dwarves to get involved in the Worldwound and its crusades: Jormundun, one of the ten Sky Citadels (this one, lost to demon worshipping duergars), was located in the Northwest in a region called Wolfcrags. Plus, the church of Torag always maintained a good relationship with the priests of Iomadae and Aroden. It was natural to commemorate his order as a paladin by visiting the annual festival. Willing to get some good cold beer and laughs, he didn't really expect what was to come for him...

Other Gear:
Scale of Sacred Weaponry Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast align weapon, but only to make a weapon lawful or good. 1 Potion of Cure Light Wounds Plans:
Donnen is a more "stationary" type of melee fighter, combining reach and nonreach weapons to limit movement in the battlefield and distribute attacks via cleaving. He is built with defense in mind and gearing towards AC, DR and Saves. I don't plan on going in any prestige class - he's paladin all the way. ---------------------------------------------- Mythic Path: Guardian (Dual: Champion) Absorb Blow: Immediate 1 MP, 5 damage/tier; for each 10, DR 1/epic+ER 5 for 1 minute
1 - Mythic Feat (Dual Path - Champion; Path Ability: Fleet Charge)/Path Ability (Retributive Reach)/Guardian's Call (Absorb Blow)/Surge 1d6
Other Mythic
Feats 1 - Power Attack
Other Feats Shield Focus (with Mythic Shield Focus)?
Desirable Items Weapons (especially ones with reach or that can have reach)
Donnen is not based off Charisma, so besides the Lay on Hands, there's not much use for it.
To Think About:
crippling thrust darting viper (for dorn-dergar using a swift)/dorn-dergar master spear dancing style/spiral/reach weapon trick (polearms) Gloves of distant action
Longarm bracers
