> A Felar Anti-Paladin? Uhmm.....Use spears and Polearms, once agian dual with claws. The ability to parry with a polearm and spear is awesome compared to an axe, the typical anit-paladin weapon. Once you can unholy bless your weapon, all those pretty +hit/+dam rolls on your axe doesn'y matter anymore anyway, it loses all it's ability and starts off fresh at +0/+0 eagerily awaiting souls. Decent Int and Wis make for good practicing.

You've got a novel idea. I'm sure there are others that will flame you, saying its insane, but that's 50% of the forum posts it seems. You should try it.
A successful felar AP can be an interesting RP possibility as well. People who do something unexpected despite obvious weaknesses usually get noticed. Any unusual race/class combo is welcome at the higher ranks, the world has seen enough arial/cloud warriors and duergar AP's.
You just need to run like hell from every encounter until you are in a position of strength. That 23 con doesn't go too far when you are constantly dying to people 8 ranks above you, and the tried-and-true tactic of sleeping opponents will be a longshot at best. You will need to devise other tactics, which will add to your uniqueness.
