What will your first BG:EE character be?

I believe I will begin with a Lawful Good, Male, Aasimar, Paladin, and I'm thinking of using sword and shield as opposed to two-handed swords (I'll leave that to Minsc ;)

I also am unsure if Paladin sub-classes will be available? If so, Paladin of Lathander.

I was always fond of paladins and they seemed the perfect class to play through the BG saga :)
