Centurion Paladin

[Devilsugar]

Hi everybody, I'm new, so welcome to my post since you're likely to welcome me to the lounge

I read over the excellent help you gave to the other fellas with their Vamp Necro and Darth Vader builds, so I'm pretty sure I can count on this community to help me to define the build of a Centurion, the field leader of the Roman armies.

I've got a few ideas for it, but I could use some feedback to flesh it out. For instance, being at the front right rank, Centurions were the first to "Charge" into battle. Their shields were large enough to use as weapons as well, hence Smite being another choice skill. I can definitely see Romans approaching war with a particular "Zeal."

Where I could use some extra help is in the area of Auras, gear restrictions, and gameplay rules. Nothing is off the table, fire away with any and all suggestions.

In the area of weapons, Centurions are well-known for their Gladius, and Falcata, but those are Exceptional and Elite level short swords, so it's in the scope for the character's future. Of course spears are a main weapon, but with a shield/smite as an attack, Javelins are the choice. So it could quite possibly be... a Javadin?

And finally, I'm looking for something that helps define the armor:

That last one has to be scrolled down a bit. Sorry that the post ran so long.

Well, I've reasoned out that an Armor gemmed with a Ruby will most likely give me the red tasset I'll need on the front with a Paladin, but I could still use some help. Gameplay rules?

I've reasoned out a Vigor/Charge with a weapon on the second weapon slot is an idea to satisfy that part of the build, but the Primary will use Fanaticism/ Zeal, with Smite on a Hotkey to satisfy that part. So I suppose the strategy will be to Charge into the fray, Stun an enemy, and then use Zeal to whack the whole crowd senseless.

So, what I really need now is some suggestions for gameplay rules, help on what specific armor to use to get the look as posted in the above links, and any other thoughts or suggestions anyone may have to help him really shine.
