Aasimar Fighter 4/ Paladin X
Aasimar Fighter 4/ Sorcerer 5/ Paladin X
My initial thoughts are that adding the extra 5 (or 3 or 4) Sorcerer levels to the build makes the character stronger. Spellcasting, better Saving Throws (doesn't matter much with a starting 20 CHA), a little less Hit Points and BAB.
But, then I start thinking that it would be difficult casting spells in armor. I plan on having this character handle the tank duties, and although I plan on concentrating on defensive spells like Mirror Image and Blur, I don't know if I'm actually hurting myself by not just going full-tank.
To avoid Paladin restrictions and XP penalties, I would have to get the character to his final Sorcerer level before picking up the Paladin class.
EDIT: I guess an alternative I could do is just start levelling as a Sorcerer when I reply in HoF mode. I will already have all the Tank I need out of this character, and shouldn't have a problem hitting stuff. I know this would stop me from being able to advance as a Paladin, but will it really matter in HoF (especially with my WIS of 12, I don't think advancing to a high Paladin level will be worthwhile).
As an Aasimar, I will avoid XP penalties if I keep the Fighter and Sorcerer levels within 1 of each other, or I could just forget about XP penalties at that stage of the game.
