So next week me and my group will be starting a campaign and it's the first time that I actually play Pathfinder or any other d20, unless you count CRPGs like NWN 1 and 2 (which I don't), and I would be really grateful if I could get some help and pointers on my build.
The build I have gone for is a THW Half-Orc Paladin, and I know that neither THW nor Half-Orcs are optimal choices but I really like Half-Orcs and I didn't feel like being an archer or a tank.
Everyone else in my group managed to roll insane ability scores, I counted the one who got the "worst" rolls to be worth 28 points, and since my rolls were horribad our GM gave me a 25 point buy instead.
I went for:
STR 16
DEX 10
CON 14
INT 12
WIS 8
CHA 18(with the racial +2)
I took Power Attack as my feat and for my traits I went with Hunter's Blood (picked survival a class skill) and Strength of the Sun. Not if those are actually any good but they seem ok and the RP stuff is pretty cool.
Skill Point wise I went with Diplomacy, Sense Motive, Survival and Knowledge (Religion) (used my favoured class bonus for an extra skill point).
I've sort of envisioned her being very anti undead and her family's had some big-shot undead slayers so I was considering taking the Undead Scourge archetype. I'm just not sure losing the immunity to charm is worth it, to me it seems like a pretty big thing to give up (also don't vampires have a bunch of charm spells and spell-like abilities?).
Any kind of pointers or input would be awesome, especially any advice you can give me on the whole Undead Scourge thing.
