I've been throwing around a build for a while, either as a villain, or, if I get a chance, a PC. It's gotten to the point where I am satisfied enough with it to start getting advice. Starts at level 11.
Strongheart Halfling Paladin of Tyranny 6/Beastmaster 1/Ashworm Dragoon 1/Outrider 3(Outrider +7/??? 2)
Planar Paladin sub at level 6
14/14/14/14/12/14, post level and racial bonuses
1) SF: Handle Animal
R) Mounted Combat
3) Mounted Archery
6) Ride-By Attack
9) Devoted Tracker
(12) Natural Bond
(15) Spirited Charge
(18) ???
And I really want Natural Bond earlier, but the idea of the super-Evil McEvilsalot having the Celestial Companion was too funny to pass up.
All paladins are, in my group, allowed to take Devoted Tracker and similar abilities, despite not having Smite Evil assuming they are of the correct alignment. Also, I am assuming that the Dragoon and Pally stack after getting the Ashworm to be counted as a mount, rather than getting the extra Dragoon stuff like that. Slightly more balanced and makes slightly more sense.
And, onto the cute widdwe cwitta

So, thoughts? Fixes? Thanks.
