I am making a paladin mostly focused on tanking but able to dish out some damage and buffing capabilities. For that I made this distribution M 14 C 10 D 10 P 15 I 13 R 16 However I've had bad experiences in other crpgs where I made characters that were complete unplayable. Is something like this viable or should I completely ditch dexterity in favor of other stats? Something like this: M 14 C 10 D 5 P 17 I 14 R 18

I wish I could use Romance of the 3 Kingdoms 11 portrais in this game, alas there no race/class with an Asian aesthetic (well perhaps monk I guess). Still if anyone wants to give a try there they are http://kongming.net/11/portraits/l.php

I see, I was hoping that being clever would mean something more like being shrewd than a wisecracker. Well I guess may belong to the other forum, but what is the cap of the paladin disposition bonus, is it that big?

So still deciding to make my first character, but I like the idea of the Darcozzi paladin being protectors and ambassadors of the Old Vailian culture. However their prefered disposition seems to be clever, does it mean to play as one I need to literally be an Han Solo character? Because that's not an archtype I like to play but at the same time I find strange an order having being a jokster as a requirement. Can anybody who played this game clarify exactly in what consists being "clever" in pillars? Does this mean I can never be serious and rational and must take everything lightly as a wisecracker? I don't really want to start investing on a character right to eventually abandon it due to this since I have very limited free time.
