Chunky - THF WF Pure Pally

[OldAquarian]

Not an advanced build - but uses 1 +2 Tome (you get a +2 from favor, any other tomes for STR or CON wouldn't hurt)

Notice that the points put into CHA become 2xSTR with DM
The +30% from HotD with the +15% from healers friend makes this build roughly the same as any other race for heals, plus can get repairs

Saves should be very good
DPS should be good on average, and fantastic situationally

No room for aura
Aside from that should be a fun reliable build

** Take Adamantine Body at level 1 and swap it to Toughness around levels 8-10 when the AC stops being useful **

Comments please

MINOR UPDATES BASED ON FEEDBACK - Now Has Power Attack
MINOR UPDATE - LISTING Adamantine Body AS Toughness

[dopamine]

it looks like you're gimping your STR to get DM4, imo melee need more str than that (don't even think you'd be able to hit an epic mob)

[Teharahma]

No power attack
Id drop dex to 8, wisdom to 8, free up 6 more points
Put an extra point in cha and the other 4 into con

Giving you
16str
8dex
18con
8int
8wis
14cha

[OldAquarian]

Put in Power attack and STR is now only 5 lower than absolute Paladin max
(vs 18 STR and all 5 instead of just two level ups this is +2.5 to hit/damage)
Really, this is -1 hit/damage vs most Pally STR builds

Now has Full WF Power Attack and DM4 (only using the favor +2 Tome)

[OldAquarian]

Another minor update - reflecting a swap from Adamantine Body to Toughness during mid levels
Also added the feat Improved Turning
- if turning is now, as some claimed, more useful
- if not it will be toughness, or possible extra turning if that seems more useful
