lolol ... soz, totally confused myself on this Q with a P1st question elsewhere!

Thanks for the feedback ... Walts

This looks like something related to 5e and not pathfinder?

In 5e you gain the benefit to investigation/perception while in the favored terrain, so it seems yes.

NATURAL EXPLORER
You are particularly familiar with one type of natural environment and are adept at travelling and surviving in such regions.

Choose one type of favoured terrain: Forest.

When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to your favoured terrain, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you're proficient in.

My question is can I gain the proficiency bonus when looking for traps within the forest?

Thanks, Walts

So, we will be playing that Paladins gain no benefits from being aligned with the Silver Flame, for now, being a 1st Level. Prestige has been mentioned, but you'll know that's way off!

A "Divine Hunter" is a nice start, but I'm sure we'll create a Prestige Class to suit Paladins in the months to come!

Thanks one & all, Walts

Sorry, should have mentioned that it is the old Eberron campaign setting that the DM's going to use ...

Eberron ref

Silver Flame ref.

... along with the city of Sharn as a focal point. Obviously, he'll be doing odd conversions to match the PRPG gameplay.

From what little I've been able to find/read, the Silver Flame faith is for LG cleric/paladins, with odd mixes of monks and rouges, but like so many faiths, has corruption within it, as well as fanatics.

The favored weapon of the Silver Flame is the longbow ... apparently to keep paladins away from the evil that they smite! :o]

Hi Folks

I'm new to PRPG and am looking at creating a Human Paladin, aligned to the Silver Flame faith.

Are there any benefits with joining this faith as a 1st Level?

Are only Prestige classes due bonuses?

Any advice appreciated for a newbie,

Thanks, Walts

Thanks for the pointers.

I don't have the rulebooks and have been using the (excellent!) PRD website for creating my Human Paladin character for ideas and couldn't see if I could hold that extra Feat bonus I got. I'll have a chat with the DM tomorrow to see what he thinks about holding back/retraining my extra Feat bonus depending on what game settings he wants to run.

As a Human Paladin, I've taken Improved Initiative and Toughness as a trial run, but will look at Power Attack as well.

I had a vague memory that you could keep hold of bonuses for later, but that might have been for Skills? I'm a newbie to PRPG, so still learning,

Cheers, Walts

Do you need to use the Feat bonus when you get it, even at 1st level?

I've a 1st level Paladin and want to keep my Feat bonus for when I'm a 2nd level for the "Extra Lay on Hands", so keeping my feat will allow me to use it at 2nd level when I can gain something I really want.

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks, Walts
