I think you might have ****** up, bro. You're supposed to take a -20 penalty on Move Silently when charging.
I didn't say I was charging silently, but I think the GM let me have my sneak dice for badass points. I did sink a ton of points into sneak and hide in order to compensate for all the penalties.
Your DM made the right call, I think. I mean, if the dragon was ******* asleep, it hasn't acted yet and is therefore flat-footed even if your noisy plate mail woke it up.
Btw, bonus points for being a Shadowbane Inquisitor. It and Frostrager are my absolute favorite prestige classes for making unorthodox fighting styles like sneaky Paladin and unarmed Barbarian possible.
