Feats for a THF Bladeforged pure Pally?

[GimliTakeTwo]

Hey - just got the race and was going to try a great sword pally.

I think the feats are pretty obvious, I want PA, the 3 THF feats, and IC: Slash. That would cover levels 1-12.

My question would be, is it worth taking Adamantine plating early (say at 3rd level) and put off the THF feats by 3 levels?

My other feat at 18th will probably be Quicken Spell.

Also I'm not planning to start him at 15th but at 1st level.

That's fine, but bear in mind you will still start with enough XP for lvl 15 and you can't exceed the standard XP-save cap. I.e., you won't gain any XP until you take lvl 14. You also don't get your BF starter gear until you take lvl 15; but since it's all ML:15 anyway, that doesn't really matter.

Anyway, for a leveling-from-15 BF pally, I would do PA (1), Addy Body (3), THF (6), IC:Slash (9), ITHF (12), GTHF (15), Quicken (18), OC (21). What you do with your lvl 24 & 27 feats is up to you. You can take Quicken sooner if you like by delaying the THF feats.
