Sune Paladin build for a friend...

So my friend is going to come play here, and they want to play a female paladin of Sune.

I was just wondering if there were any builds that would be even slightly more tailored to a paladin of this faith?

All suggestions welcome!

Go for a Rogue 4/Paladin 26. Save up your skill points so that you can maximise skills such as Perform. You know... something like this: http://nwn2db.com/build/?275701

Hey.... what exactly is a Divinate? How does one RP a divinate? I tried looking it up but no luck, and the wiki doesnt really give a definition of it. Is it just RPed like a normal paladin?

https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Divinate <= That should be the new wiki page for the Divinate, in case anyone is curious.

When you become a divinate, you lose your ability to Smite Evil and your Aura of Courage in favour of improved spellcasting. Thus a divinate would be less gun-ho about charging in to smite evil, and more keen towards serving their deity. More tied to their religious order than the road. In a way I think this really suits a Paladin of Sune.

I had a Sunite paladin 26 paladin/4 Man at Arms, as a great smiter. Charisma all the way.

Basically on a paladin you can add 26 paladin/4 whatever, as a great smiter, EDM or just another idea. Or you can do a 26 flavoured soul/4 paladin build. Less paladin, more casting, but still a paladin. Allows EDM if the pre-req divine feats are taken on paladin levels.

Not a paladin, but certainly an interesting build.

It's been changed some time ago. Divinates only lose the Smite Evil. Aura of Courage remains.

Then the new wiki seems to be out of date already! :lol:

Yeah... I could... In theory... But I am not in a positition to double check this thing before I would go to edit the wiki things. (And no, I don't want to be in the QC.) :mrgreen:
