Just so it's all clear, I'm still in, making had to be paused. I'll hurry it up now.
Expanding upon such an answer, it's a Hero character. This has a few requirements:
-Needs to BELIEVE IN HIMSELF!/HERSELF!
-Needs to take abuse LAMF.
-Needs to be likeable, to the point enemies he defeats go up on the diplomacy scale.
Charisma deals with 1 and possibly 3, and with a paladin dip, some excellent race/template combos for charisma, and a horrendous abuse of dipping, I can definitely fill those and 2. If I'm making something the opposite of a fey psion (my lancer), then all I really need is a not-so-cold, hearty/tough character, and I'm already playing a charismatic tank, so my battles half done. Will have something up in between bouts of protoss v. zerg (fucking probe harass...) fairly soon.
