Loras Tyrell, The Knight of the Flowers!

Since we've left the April showers behind I figured that the thorn of Highgarden would be a good addition to my ongoing Game of Thrones character builds. Check it out!

You are sorely missing at least some Performance Combat feats.

Secret Wizard, this may very well be true. But as I said in the build itself, that's a suggested list for players to start with. I figured that winning the joust came first, and looking good while you did it came second.

The rules for Performance Combat are such that winning over the crowd helps you win the contest - you get up to a +2 morale bonus on most checks if the crowd loves you.

Also, crowd reaction (or that of a particular judge within the crowd) can serve as a tiebreaker in a joust if neither combatant is able to unseat their opponent or otherwise obtain clear victory within a certain timeframe.

Dramatic Display is at least worth mentioning since it's not very hard to qualify for (considering that the Gendarme gets a good amount of feats), adds a bit of style to the character, and applies whenever you hit on a charge (or bull rush, or when you crit). Adding Performing Combatant (no additional pre-requisites) allows you to use the feat in real combat (outside a joust).

It's especially worth mentioning because many readers may not be as familiar with these feats as they are with the mounted combat feats.

I guess.

Not sure if I'd dump his wisdom but he's one of those less attentive folks.

Upon further reading, I see where you're going with the performance combat suggestion. I edited the feats section to include them as a suggestion.

Thanks for the tip!
