Scuvy Cur used to play one, so I'd bug him for that kind of build. I think it was a rogue/monk/paladin, but i'll be damned if I remember how he built it.

How much Paladin do you want? If you're going 26 for +5 Bless Weapon, your options are limited. If you're taking a 4-5 level dump for BAB and Fear immunity, you have a lot more options.

Rogue 20/paladin 4/fighter 6. Use the paladin padded armor, fine elven boots, and paladin hat to help max dex/con/cha. Take the usual rogue skills, pick up Epic Dodge and Blinding Speed. Your AC is through the roof, your saves solid, your only real weakness being low HP (Probably about the same as a battlebard style build), so mages will be dangerous, but you've got a lot of tools to make that not one-sided.

You're right. Participating in the forums was a mistake. Won't do this again.

^^ That's the way I'd build it. If wielding a non-rogue weapon, you could go something like Rogue16/Paladin4/CoT or Fighter10. This notably for a Rogue/Paladin of Baravar Cloakshadow, a gnome deity, who would wield a svirfiehammer ;) How cool is that.

The paladin I playing was actually going to be a pal22/sd5/rogue3, in that paladin armour, which I think is an half plate.

I just lost motivation at some point, but it is definitely doable, even if not optimal.
