We're playing LFR and we're almost at paragon, but I'm flustered at the choices I have in front of me.  I'd want a character that's balanced in both optimizing and roleplaying, but am not sure what REALLY fits my half-elf character, Leutra Klinfor. Mechanically, he's a fighter, background Poison Master & Baldur's Gate [Thievery training], uses lots of light blades (daggers, short swords, and even a double sword for a time [tried out double scimitar, but didn't enjoy it as much]), but has a walking staff that glows purple on command (thanks to the fairies in one campaign). The backstory of Leutra (or Lute) is that he grew up in the back streets of Baldur's Gate, the son of a relatively poor alchemist, just another ruffian in the crowd.  He was supposed to stay that way, growing up to be a rogue, when one day, he robbed a Cleric of Corellon... but instead of chasing him down and beating him senseless, he waited for Lute to return his coins, which... well, for the young boy, was very odd.  He returned to the cleric, and after having a little talk, was eventually indoctrinated into worshipping Corellon.  He wanted to continue on as a Paladin or Cleric of Corellon, but soon enough earned a distaste for the rigorous training and discipline found in the walls of their chapels and monasteries.  He still has his skills as a rogue and a poisoner (learned from his father and his upbringing on the streets), but because of his constant streetfighting and the training he received as he tried to become a paladin, he decided to become a mercenary instead. So, what Paragon path would reflect his development into an able-bodied duelist who could use poisons as well?  I'm debating between Rakehell Duelist, Rakish Swashbuckler, Storm Trooper, Master of Poisons, and [just for the lols] Jack-of-All-Trades.  Kensai was my original choice, but seeing as I use too many types of blades, would be impractical to go for it.
