Yoda != halfling.

Well then I say that add Gnomes just for this build.

[Alcides]

Yoda is clearly a leprechaun!

You are awared that keeping your bonus to AC is uninteded, right?

Quick, everyone build one of these so the devs are afraid to change it.

Um he is not doing anythign that would make him uncentered therefore nothing that would make him lose his AC bonuses.

He is using monk weapons (kamas).

And wearing robes.


Also his AC would be higher then he listed....and if he wanted to grab CE it could be much higher (but requires a 12 int or at least 11 int to start). The AC would be much higher if he didn't add his level up points into strength instead of dex (still boggled by that decision.

With his starting stats he could have a 17 base + 4 level + 3 tome + 6 item + 2 halfling enh + 2 air stance = 34 dex

And a 15 base + 1 monk + 6 item + 2 tome = 24 wisdom

You could add more by using crafted +9 dex weapon in 1 hand and insight bonus in the off hand..but we'll skip that Since you want as much damage as possible.

Total AC then ends up being (Without CE)

10 base
01 halfling
01 centered
12 dex
07 wisdom
07 WDSR (could get 8 with bracer but not as good as using chaos guards)
06 dodge
03 natural
05 protection
04 insight
04 paladin aura
=60 AC

Using the shield clickie off your robe or shield scrolls (you have the cha for it with just 1/2 your lvl in UMD easily) that is 64 without using TWD.

Robes mean evasion works fine, no worries about being centered (as long as you use monk weapons) and you can use a stance and build up ki and use ki attacks (and you have the monk levels for FoL).

Personally I don't see any reason to take the 4th monk level though.....your way better off takeing either 2 monk and 2 fighter (I already posted that build before) or taking 3 monk (for FoL) and 1 fighter lvl.

[Borror0]

And wearing robes.

hehe, I read armor.

[Jondallar]

I took the 4th lvl of monk to get the extra +1 to flurry of blows and mistakenly thought you need 4 lvls for FoL.

However taking that into account I agree that 1 lvl fighter for the extra feat might be useful...twd maybe. Or simply taking more lvls of Paladin as I like the power of the new high lvl enhancements.

Ideally though i would like to see the build go 15 Paladin/5monk making use of the bonues that occur at every 5 lvls a specific class plus the monk AC bonus and Bog4 would be available

I added strength at lvl ups to aid in Damage...Kama's are pretty wimpy and they dont make w/p kama's so need to up the dps for more balance... 60 AC is plenty and the to hit is pretty good where I have the dex score +3 df, +1 halfling size.

[Borror0]

Total AC then ends up being (Without CE)

It can be 3 pts higher now: Icy Ramen + 8 AC Bracers

[Inspire]

Icy Ramen

??

[Borror0]

??

I meant Icy Raiment (http://img252.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot00001tb9.jpg), lol.

[Venar]

I find the HP to be rather on the very low end. I melee type under 300 is unacceptable...
The level of fighter could probably allow for an extra thoughness.

Where Does That Drop Borr?

[Blazer]

Icy Ramen

Mmmm, I think I used to eat this in college when I was poor. That's the 10 cent/package soup, right? ;)

/much love Borror0, just playing

[Hasteclicky]

I hope your gonna be able to fit in the nightforged darkhelm. that's the most yoda looking helm i've seen.

[Borror0]

That's the 10 cent/package soup, right? ;)

hehe, useful when you hvae only 10$ 'til Tuesday... xD

[Jondallar]

272 w/o: con item (48), gfl (32), minos (18), draconic (10) for an extra 108 and a total of 380 hp

[Venar]

Ah, didn't realise the gear wasent included.
Add shroud item for 400, nice then.

[wolfy42]

FoL even if you are going to be centered isn't that useful...I mean...it's a bit of extra healing.....but if you take only 2monk levels and 14 paladin you gain exalted smite III.....which does let you spam smites a bit faster and boosts your dual kamas crit range to a decent lvl (x4). Sadly even with improved crit slashing and exalted smite III you still only have a 18-20 crit range on your kamas.

Personally I thik if your not going to snag 15 paladin levels...going past 12 is not really worth it still. That leaves 4-5 paladin lvls to play with (12 pally lvls gives you um....exalted smite II I think it was .....although it might have been divine sacrifice 2...whichever it is worth it unless you need the 3rd lvl).

2 monk lvls minimum makes sense to get both bonus feats and +1 wisdom along with evasion.

3....you can take if you really want FoL. Right now though a pally can use other weapons besides monk ones without losing a ton...and doing so makes FoL much less useful. I believe as long as a monk does not wear armor...or use a shield he should not lose his wisdom bonus to AC according to DnD rules...so even if they do change the wisdom bonus to AC while wearing armor/shield thing later...you can still probably use non-monk weapons and retain your wisdom bonus to AC.

You would lose 1 AC for not being centered....and another AC for not being able to use a stance...but thats it.

And you could use say 2 rapiers instead of 2 kamas.....(although 2 vorpal kamas are still excellent to pull out from time to time...you won't need improved crit for them though...so the rapiers are the way to go)

Rapiers do look a bit more like small lightsabers as well....especially when they are glowing:)

To bad they don't have a good green skin color for halflings though.

Also I understand where you coming from on the strength...but I do think adding to dex instead of strength will add more to the build long term. Grab 2 fighter lvls and a 12 base strength and you can reach a decent end point on strength end game.

12 base + 3 tome + 1 fighter + 6 item = 22 strength

That is +6 dmg on primary and +3 on offhand.

Pumping 4 points into strength on level up only boosts your dmg by 3 points....combined (2 on primary 1 on offhand)...which is nothing compared to the other dmg you will be doing (especially with kamas with such a low crit multiplier/range).

4 points into dex though is 2 more ac, 2 more reflex saves (ok I admit..your only going to fail on a 1 anyway but still), 2 more AB (again probably will hit on anything but a 1 usually even with PA going).

I guess it's really only a difference between a tiny bit more damage...and a tiny bit more AC when you look at your end game.

Still 10% less chance to hit....could be a big factor....not sure if 3 more dmg per attack round when your hitting even with dual kamas for 60+ (without using smites or sacrifice) is worth it.

[Vaypor]

I haven't seen any WoP kamas either, but, I have 2 wounding/enfeeblers in the bank for next lvl to for twf. Not the same, but certianly not bad w/ IC. Btw, thx for sharing the Icy Ramen :), er raiment w/ us and where it drops. And the build looks solid and fun, and for me, it's all about fun....now where am I gonna get more character slots......

[wolfy42]

Yeah thanks for posting the icey Ramin BoRRow:)

Now I just have to get me one:)

Course that means I have to get +8 armor bracers too blah.......

Oh well good to have goals.

[Accelerando]

And to think Coldest vouched for you.

For shame cold... for shame.

[Anastasios]

I never vouched for him on Mabar, nor do I vouche for him on Argo, and I still don't know why I am guilded with this guy-JonD you have taken your love of the halfling too far, by combining it with your love for shriveled old green aliens, for shame man, for shame.

Take it to Ghallanda when you make it for the love of all things Pally...

[Devilgoat]

Your mate Ram-mices told me that your build is gimped because it is not human and doesn't have all the healing amplification enhancements for maximising your FoL. 1-3dmg per hit is ubeh.

Love your work.
