5th Level Paladin Feat


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

Silver Crusade

I recently leveled up to level five with my Paladin and was wondering, what's a good feat to pick up? My inventory is, Scalemail, Heavy steel shield, MWK longsword, MWK Composite longbow. My feats are Toughness, Weapon focus (longsword), word of healing. My stats are

Str: 14
Dex: 13
Con: 13
Int: 12
Wis: 13
Cha: 16

I'm human with no levels in any other class and I would prefer a feat that would help with Charisma based skills or martial combat.

Power Attack is the obvious (powerful, common, boring?) choice.

I'm considering the following feat from Champions of Purity for my 3rd level paladin though:

Golden Legion's Stayed Blade
When you're dealing with large and secretive organizations, a dead enemy is just a corpse, but a captured enemy can be a tool.
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +3.
Benefit: If you deal an amount of damage to a creature that would slay it outright, you can pull that attack, instead dealing only enough damage to reduce its hit points to -1, and leave it stable.

That's a good one, I might pick that.

Yeah, I rather like it. I'm a bit torn between that and more damaging feats (Furious Focus, probably), or Step Up; I really hate people 5ft-ing away and then throwing nasty stuff at me.
