Another e11Ranger/3Pally...

[Sutek]

Ok here's another 11ranger/3pally split. Nothing new here I'm just looking for suggestions and feedback.

I'm not sure if I want to switch iron will for dodge. I'm thinking I probably do but the will save seems a bit low.

Your stats are solid. I'd go with ranger at lvl 1 for the extra skill points. Even if they're put into things like Balance and UMD you'll still have more versatility.

and on that note.. i'd take the first TWO levels as ranger.. for well.. the obvious reason :)

but really.. as 'different' as those stats are (and yes you said upfront they would be different)..

the whole point of going paladin is for the cha-bonus to saves (along with the aura, etc).. i just dont see your end-game 18charisma making it worth it

i use this build, and my charisma is sitting at 24 (26 sometimes).. +7/+8 definitely is worth the 3 levels..

the strenght/dex difference is interesting.. but i suppose if you're not going for max-AC and/or finessing-style.. that's fine.


as far as the feats go.. i really dont see the need for that 2nd toughness. with paladin's-toughness-1.. and all the items out there for hp (greater false life, argo favor, etc).. you can still get your hp above 200.. and the +1 ac from dodge would really help, especially if you're not going for max dex/ac

just my 2cp


(i hate to sound pompous or conceited or w/e.. but i use this build and i think i've perfected it as far as using what works best for the majority of situations (which really is the whole point right?) which includes a 36dex/20str and a 24/26 charisma (giving me saves of 32/42/30)... if you have detailed questions feel free to ask)


another thing you may want to consider.. and something i wish i'd thought of in retrospect is getting a higher wisdom.

this build will be SAVAGE when monk comes out.. and wisdom-bonus-to-ac.. well.. yeah (plus monk1 gives you +2 to 'all' saves)
