The Complete Paladin Information Thread

[spifflove]

The problem is that I seem to have to gimp wisdom. Not sure it this will give me real problems in the will save and sp department if I start with 08 wisdom.

The stats I choose so far are
16
13
14
14
08
13

I need 14 intel for intimidate (2 per level), balance (2 per level) and jump, maybe some umd with 2nd rogue level. I would feel strange starting with 14 str not sure what the best choice is here.

Also a problem is I am afraid that a 18 fighter/2 monk will get serious more ac.

You may want to start your own thread for this question. It would be helpfull if you stated your prefered race, and what your intentions of the character will be (TWF/THF/S&B, intimidator, pseudohealer, AC Build, gimp piker etc )

On a paladin, an 8 wis is technically possible to do, as with a +6 Wis Item you are then at 14 WIS which is all you need to cast your highest level spells. Add an SP item and you have enough SP to do your casting. I never advise a low WIS, and personnally never started below 12 but it is possible.

Also may want to mention if you have access to +1/+2 tomes for this character.

This thread will be updated in the near future. I will probably start a new thread and break the information up somewhat more to make it easier to search

[SteeleTrueheart]

I am in the middle of writing up a new thread... is there anything in the formatting people would like to see? A community section? A friendly debate section? Current issues section?

How do people use this thread? What info is the most important that you want to see first and foremost?

Thx, im just making sure. I am really gonna have to plan its use very carefully for mod 9 since it will last 2m24s on my pally.

Do Paladin extra damage abilities proc on glancing blows?

I am asking about abilities such as Capstone damage, knight of the challenge damage, smite evil damage and divine sacrifice damage

(i asked at the Beta forums but this thread seems likely to be the best chance of a fast answer)

[KKDragonLord]

Wish list, No requests? How about the Holy Avenger weapon? a request as old as mod 1.

How about incentive to play as something other than TWF, when even smites are doubled.

[SteeleTrueheart]

i believe the KotC damage procs on every glancing blow. I tested a lot and never saw DS proc. ES might have but it was hard to be sure. I tend to die quick when surrounded by devils, especially going THF and weilding masterwork.

While I know some of this is outdated, I am bumping this thread given the expected influx of new F2P players.

Yeah yeah I know

I am working on a v2.0 to make it a bit less 'wall of text'

Just like I need to completely rewrite the Paladin Build Guide... but I just don't have the time.

Defender of siberys uses armor boosts right? so is the AC bonus equal to the bonus of the armor boost + dodge bonus from defender or is it just the dodge?

Yes, it consumes an AC Boost to use the stance, but it is a stance, and stays on, even while casting. You don't get the AC Boost, you get the Stance Dodge Bonus.

[KKDragonLord]

Neat, but both can be used at the same time for super duper ac right?

[Dworkin_of_Amber]

Yes, you can use both.

Remember that the DoS stance is like PA/CE, except that casting spells does not take you out of it. And you have have PA/CE/DF running along with the DoS Defensive Stance.
