So far:
1st (4 known)-Shield, Magic Missile, Grease, ?
2nd (4 known)-Resist Energy, ?,?,?
3rd (5 known)-Dispel Magic, Fly, Magic Circle against Evil, ?,?
4th (5 known)-Wall of Fire, ?,?,?,?
5th (4 known)-Wall of Force,?,?,?
His prohibited schools are Enchantment, Illusion, and Necromancy.
I'm thinking of Duelward from SPC for 5th, but I have to check the rules. |
A few suggestions:
Lesser/regular/Greater Orb spells (they are Evocation, but require Ranged Touch roll). Pick some to cover areas not covered by other spells. Maybe Sonic orb (or lesser orb)?
Repair Damage - you might want one of these for our warforged friend. If you don't want to pick it now, I'm sure Kevros would sell you a scroll of it--cheap! 
Summon Monster -- is always good, just to throw more critters when the fighters are in trouble or a rogue needs to flank (but I don't think we have a rogue). Of course, fighers will also love the +2 to hit from a flanking critter.
Some level-specific suggestions:
1st (4 known)-Shield, Magic Missile, Grease, Enlarge Person, Expeditious Retreat or Swift Exp. Retreat
2nd (4 known)-Resist Energy, ?,?,? Glitterdust is essential, Fog Cloud, Ice Knife, Web!! (jk!), See Invisibility, Spider Climb, stat buff spells,
3rd (5 known)-Dispel Magic, Fly, Magic Circle against Evil, ?,? Stinking Cloud is essential, Bands of Steel, Haste, Gaseous Form, Tongues
4th (5 known)-Wall of Fire, ?,?,?,? Dimension Door is essential, Stoneskin, Evard's Black Anti-Climax!! (jk again!), Orb spells go here.
5th (4 known)-Wall of Force,?,?,? Teleport, Greater Blink, Baleful Polymorph, Wall of Stone, Arc of Lightning, Break Enchantment

Sounds good to me.
Will he only shift when he gets angry?

Well, that sounds a little more lawful neutral than I would play it. The King and Country part would include some lofty, patriotic ideals. He is still a paladin, after all. |
Does that include blinders and selective history?

Wow. This from mister "I don't want to give you backstory so you can screw with me." j/k
Actually, that is pretty cool.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. He tries to avoid shifting at all times. But sometimes, when he's really stressed out.... think "Incredible Hulk" (the t.v. show, not the movie  ).

I will give you plenty o' backstory. I will drown you in backstory!

How long does Mass Fly last?
What does Spell Theft do?

| Mass Fly is minutes/level. Spell Theft is basically a targeted dispel that transfers spells to the caster. So if you have Mage Armor running and I Spell Theft you, I would get Mage Armor. |

| I'm swapping Mass Fly for Break Enchantment. I only have two non-abjuration spell slots, so I probably wouldn't take Mass Fly anyway. |
