lvling it up right now. So far I have him at lvl 3 and he does just fine by himself. I took 2 lvls of monk right off and he will be rest of the way pally. With mage armor pots till I get my bracers from ww he has a good ac only ever "party" I have put him in his with another guildie as we ran info, lighthouse, butchers, durks, ww all on normal. We just really mowed through them and he was just healing me.

starting stats:

str 13 (+1 tome if you got one)

dex 18

con 10

int 8

wis 14

cha 8

race halfing of course :P

I really like the build so its why I gave him a tome already... He will have greater twf and have exhalted smite 3 which should be pretty nasty. I would say to look into for yourself but a duel wielding kama monk pally has been working out for me really well.

Without any raid loot he will have a base 47 ac at lvl 16 with the stars inline and every piece of raid loot amd defense fighting on I think he could hit a 64 ac.. And he should have all his saves buffed in the low 30's...

But what I know as of now for sure is he is a great low lvl toon.

hope this helped a little

Just how exalted will that smite be with a starting charisma of 8?

not to mention your non-existance +cha to all saves ability

I am not a min.max (I just cant justify the lose of attribute points), so here is what my halfling monk13/pally3 looks like :

str 11
dex 15
con 13
int 14
wis 13
cha 14

(got a full set of +1 tomes and a +2 int tome @ level 1 so)

str 12
dex16
con14
int16
wis14
cha15

and at level 16 (with only a +3 str <if I want fire stance 3> and a +3 wisdom tome) Ill have

str18 (20 with +3 tome, or 22 if lv12/16 boost doesnt go to wis <gives base 16 for fire 3>)
dex24 (with +2 halfling talent)
con20
int18 (lv4/8 level boost)
wis22 (24 with +3 tome, or 26 if level 12/16 level boost doesnt go to str) (w/ monk +2 wis)
cha22 (with +1 cha pally talent)

this gives me about a 37 to 40 in all saves

Hi All!

Thanks for the replies! Both builds look interesting and will look forward to playing around with similar build.

well I never post ending stats with my builds because I dont know what kind of gear people have and I hate using tomes for ending stats on my builds as well. I believe starting stats are what matter and if you have the leet gear and tomes to dump onto a build all the more better. but granted no matter how you slice it a monk pally build will be a good build to have. What you need most for the build to be uber is awesome kamas though...
