Lets face it. I suck at the crunch part of character building. So I've come to you errr "Ponders" optimizers. To find a decent build.

Stats are a 32 point buy
1st level
250 gold.
Core and any of the Complete series. ((I've got CW and CA))
"Waves the hammergun" Please do not make this build broken!

Lets face it. I suck at the crunch part of character building.In order to be great, you had to be good. In order to be good, you had to be bad. In order for you to be bad, you had to have tried. I recommend you give it a whirl at least once before bringing things to the board. This way, we can teach you the basics of optimization instead of just serving up something for you.

Obviously, ranged-combat feats will be the order of the day; a dip into Fighter will help with the feat crunch. You'll probably want Ranged Smite, which you can get from Book of Exalted Deeds (IIRC). We also probably need to get more mileage from your Cha, but the best thing I can think of is Divine Vigor, which will help offset your land speed. There are no good gun-toting PrCs for you to get into, except perhaps Exotic Weapon Master.

If you're going to be a mounted halfling paladin, I would look at the Supermount build, as it takes advantage of the Halfling Outrider class and the Devoted Tracker feat.
