Drop OTWF for PA.

Your to-hit is gonna be high enough with all the buffs available.

[mediocresurgeon]

EDITED:

+20 BAB
+10 Strength
+5 Weapon
+4 GH
+3 Divine Favor
+2 (Spectral Gloves/Tumbleweed/Full Plate of the Defender)
+1 Haste
-5 PA
-4 TWF
= +37 to hit
Okay, this isn't looking too bad now.

-4 TWF
= +25 to hit
This doesn't look very outstanding. Will it be able to connect enough that the added DPS from Power Attack will be worth it?

Maybe wanna use your Strength bonus too...=)

add ur str bonus, an pick up maybe to hit boost for the times u r having probs?

You sure you have Extend at 3? You can't cast yet, so it shouldn't be available.

Not that it entirely matters overall.

ooops
Yeah good catch.
I was doing it from memory.
I'll have to check it later.

Anyway on my Pally/Monk I also went 1 Level Fighter for Intimidate and an extra Feat
13 Pally/Monk 2/Fighter 1.
I built him over a year ago and eagerly await the Level Cap increase for Zeal.
My new Pally I'm leveling is actually 2 Rogue for Intimidate and UMD.
While the Monk Feats and AC are awesome I prefer the Pally18/ Rogue 2 because I want to get aggro reliably and UMD is icing on the cake.

As far as the OP's Build.
I checked your updates and I think it looks like a solid build.
Once you factor in your 30 Str = + 10 to hit and dmg.
Even more with Rage and every Strength Boost will keeping bringing it up.
You'll be looking at + 35 to + 38 easily self-buffed with PA turned on.
I think your to-hit will be fine

Still looking for confirmation (linakge to DEV's say so) on the Holy Avenger being 2-handed...

Fit in one of the +2 competence to hit items if possible. Tumbleweed or plate of the defender or spectral gloves

Updated. Thanks for the suggestion!

Get comfortable, you could be here awhile.

I hear ya but Wu Jen was so "matter of fact"ly in his first post in this thread that I thought many other people might know something about it.

I am thinking something along the lines of a Drow for the extra Cha. I am addicted to Divine Might. It's doubtful you'd get more than 12 con in this type of build unless you give up on DM IV, so the con penalty is minimized.

16 str, dex, cha, balance con and wis to taste.

1 twf
3 tough
6 itwf
9 imp crit
12 gtwf
15 PA
18 Khopesh
20.. I can't remember if we get a feat at 20 or not, otwf or extend, to taste.

Might reorder the feats some, take khoesh early and twf feats later maybe? at level 10, S&B is pretty close to uber due to AC still being useful. I'd have to think about that. Would allow more time to dig up the dex tome, no use eating one if the project does not hold my interest.

OK, take two at feats

1 khopesh
3 tough
6 PA
9 imp crit
12 twf
15 itwf
18 gtwf

This lets you concentrate on your collection of weapons right off the bat and be nigh-indestructable in the early game, switching to nigh-unstoppable in the later levels.

Does not stack with other competence bonuses already included.

+33 to-hit is too low which is going to cripple your dps ...

[Hadrian]

Such as?

Greater heroism is a morale bonus, and divine favor is a luck bonus.

Also, even if that was true you seem to have subtracted 2 from 37 and come up with 33.

With drow racial enhancements, rapiers are almost exactly equal DPS to the khopesh so you can save yourself a feat (take extend or another toughness).

You can do a lot of things with 12 AP on a Paladin...

After playing a bit, you might want to switch out your TWF for THF if you want to use that Holy Avenger. Just saying..........

You would be INCORRECT!

In DDO, the Holy Avenger looks to be a LONGSWORD.
