I'm trying to build a character. My intent is for her to be a paladin-like fighter. Very disciplined and virtuous, but easily shaken when her morals are challenged. She'll be as close to a paladin without being one. I've written the backstory and now I'm into the building phase.
I'm hoping to have her use a polearm (probably a lance) with her main attack strategy being a direct charge. Otherwise, I want her to be incredibly tanky: heavily armor with as much armor as possible (it's too bad weight has nothing to do with charge bonuses).
I've looked at a few options and nothing seems to really fit. Polearm master seems to sacrifice too much defense. I wish there was a way to wield most one-handed so that she could use a tower shield. In any case she'll probably wielding tower shields and a pilum in melee. I'll probably give her quickdraw to quickly switch from a lance (for charging) and the pilum for melee.
Any tips would be appreciated. I cant really find any useful charge related feats (except maybe improved bull rush). I'd even accept other clases (including paladin) but I dont know any good archetypes for what I want to do. Anybody have any good ideas.
Note: I'll consider 20 point build for the moment (I might modify later), and the race as human. The distribution will probably be:
Str: 16 Dex: 13 Con: 14 Int: 12 Wis: 13 Cha: 12
So she's a physicaly powerful women, with a balanced personality.
