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.

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...

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.
