I was perusing the WDA this week and saw all the changes being made to the paladin enhancements and went WOOHOO!! With visions of having a 94% pure paladin running through my head I went through and edited the enhancements.txt file in Ron's Character Generator. After reading the whole Dwarf vs. Drow paladin thread I thought I'd see what fun stuff I could do with a dwarf.
I envision the character to be a classic style paladin based intimitank. Meaning lots of layers of defense (AC, Saves, HP, DR), hate gaining skills (Intimidate, Divine Righteousness and Whirlwind attack), and a maxed aura for the party.
I know Mod 7 is a ways away and we'll probably see even more changes but tell me what you think so far.
Notes of feat choices.
- Why Spring Attack? I wanted an AoE attack on the character and felt Spring Attack would be more useful than Power Attack. Spring Attack means I only suffer a -7 to hit while tanking rather than a -7 while standing still/-11 when moving.
- Why Bludgeon Specced? To fit in all the paladin enhancements I want I couldn't afford Dwarven Axe Mastery. Also, in order to get a super spiffy AC I'll need a shroud weapon. Axes are out of the question but Warhammers are available
