It would seem to me that a halfling would make a good pally. Am I way off base or would a pure pally halfling be a good character ??

Halflings make great Pallys, Since most pallys are secondary tanks the disadvantage of 1 less damage per hit is not a huge deal, while saves and ac is higher in addition it is easier to get enough dex to get the dodge feat without too much sacrifice...the only problem is at early levels where 3/4 carrying capacity can be mildly annoying.. halflings do well strenght based as well as dex based, however dex twf usually negates the ac advantages halflings can have as Paladins. If Paladins ever get an Armor mastery enhancement Halfling Paladins will definately be amongst the highest AC builds. Of course until we test the new enhancements most would recommend multiclassing especially with 2 lvls of rogue to gain the synergy with evasion and a reasonably high dex.
I think they are the best Batman race .The AC doesnt take too much hit from the light armor, killer saves on tap your evasion will work so well you can chill out in elite Arretrekos meteors, 1 rank in fighter and halfy flanking AP bonuses and sneak to-hit bonus makes up for any lost BAB or if you skimped on str. I could go on and on but yeah they make great pure pally too I'm just not a huge fan of pure pally at the moment (hoping MOD7 changes my opinion on that) even if they do choose the supreme race
Pure halfling pally would be a fine character. The STR can (will?) be a limiting factor, depending on how you build your character, of course, so as long as you don't expect him to be this monster DPS machine, you should be happy with the end result. Side note - I wouldn't invest too heavily in the halfling luck enhancements since your saves will be pretty nice just from your class.
