what is the wierdest multiclass or race combo you've seen with a paladin?

I had a rogue/paladin/marshal/exemplar/spymaster of St. Cuthbert that never lied. I had full levels in Spymaster before he was retired. His final iteration was focused on UMD and face abilities with a secondary focus on Devoted Inquisitor.

My character, due to a rules change, is going to be a Monk 2/Sorc 1/Paladin 2/Dragon Disciple 4/Green Star Adept 2/Enlightened Fist 4 build. She's a Baklunish immigrant to Keoland, a country whose major metaorg hates Baklunish.

Of course, if I haven't convinced Britt not to allow Abjurant Champion, she'll be taking that. :)

(original build pre-FAQ is Monk 2/Sorc 1/Paladin 2/Enlightened Fist 10 - not quite so complicated)

Clearly, the weirdest I've seen is an elf paladin archer with 8 Strength, 16 Intelligence, and a level of necromancer.

The weirdest I haven't seen would probably be an ex-barbarian paladin.

It probably shouldn't be as weird as it seems - +10 Move in Mithril Full Plate, +2 hp, and +12 skill points(with a reasonably decent skill list)? Sure, you lose Rage, but mechanically, it isn't a bad move.

I've half contemplated it for just all the odd looks I'd get. Even has a decent backstory(former nomad of horse country X, moved to country Y, settled down, joined the local cavalry...)

You mean Tajlo?

I met a Orge Paladin of Allitur with a pet pig. Does that count?

I've played with a gnome bard / rogue / swashbuckler / paladin / blade bravo who made heavy use of the Goad feat (or something along those lines, I may have forgotten some classes) ;) My cleric liked him for his natural charm and willingness to deliver her holly berry bombs to big nasty monsters at point-blank range :)

And of course, there was Bucktoof, the half-orc paladin of Ulaa with a dire boar mount who made it all the way to retirement with no levels in any other class :)

I played a game recently with 3 gnome paladins in it, Paladins of St Cuthbert, Atroa and I think Fhlarghan might have been the third, mounted on riding dogs with lances.

Kobold Paladin. 'nuff said.

I find it unusual that everyone talks about the kobold paladin, but NOBODY comments on the ogre mage paladin of Murlynd...

Half-elf, half-Suel paladin of Fortubo (a dwarf god). I believe he is going for Outcast Champion at some point . . .
