My last word on customising characters (unless someone raises a counter-argument):
The biggest way of customising characters has absolutely nothing to do with ability scores, feats, weapon choice, or anything else. The biggest and best way to customise a character (of any race, class or level) is through background and role-playing. If your 8th level Paladin has exactly the same skills, feats, weapons, armour and deity as Bob's 8th level Paladin, but one was a priviledged son of the nobility, raised with the constant knowledge that he was destined for righteousness and glory, while yours is a former slave boy, embittered by the loss of his family in a war perpetrated by selfish nobles, and reluctantly given the mantle of paladin by a deity who needs a champion, I suspect that you will see markedly different characters in play.
Unless, of course, you're playing the game purely as a video-game in which case, do you really care that your characters are essentially the same?
