I'm rolling up a paladin to run with a regular group, and I plan on going the two-hand damage route.

Proposed stats are:
str 18
dex 8
con 8
int 8
wis 12
cha 16

I plan on taking toughness and the 4 toughness enhancements (as well as the save boost aura enhancements) to make up for the low scores, and taking PA, THF, GTHF, focus slash, and imp crit slash (plus toughness). human +1 to str and cha, paladin +3 cha, and 4/8/12 +3 to str. I plan to swing the biggest, meanest falchion I can find. I have zero gear, this is a fresh reroll on khyber


Are there any convincing reasons not to go this route? My thoughts were that the enhancements would make up for the hp, and of course I'd plan on wearing full plate, and rounding out scores with items, but a base str of 22 without items would be big fun. I'd just as soon not rely on any tomes (if a +2 drops, great). We will not be raiding - casual one night a week stuff.
