Returning Pure Paladin needs help!

[Zxine]

I have a pure Human Paladin at level 10 at the moment. This is what he looks like without items and no tomes. Should I re-roll him or try and make him work? I am currently working on a 28pt Drow 16Pally/2Rogue/2Monk for fun. But want a Paladin main tank that I can earn stuff with!

It looks like your dex wont be high enough to enifit really from doing the whole monk thing. The "outfit" would give u a stacking +4 to ac bonus w if ur reeeaaally lucky ac bracer +8 and a chattering ring which is +3 stacking but you would have to go two weapon fighting. I have a build he is a halfing but would of been better as a human he willl be currently 14 paladin/3 fighter/3 rogue but ideally he should of been 15/3/2 intimidate +mirthral breastplate and the hound towershield combo will get you a bonus to ac till u get ur shroud weapon. Chattering ring is annoying but nt that hard to get and chaos guards will get that extra stacking bonuses so it would be eeking you dex to a 22 would allow to use defernder of syberous 1 for that extra tower shield max dex bonus. You will get intimidate from your humanness to boost that up and be a solid ac agro tank

A few things...

Starting a strength based character at 14 will usually make you wish you had more. It can be done, obviously, but I usually won't start below 16 unless I'm -really- squeezed for points.

You have weapon focus, and mental toughness, which if you are planning on re-working this guy you may want to swap out for more useful feats. Weapon focus is +1 to hit, and you will have no problem hitting at higher levels. Mental toughness SP is nice, as you have to re-cast your buffs (divine favor, angelskin, and eventually zeal) fairly often as a pally, but there are other ways to get more SP, especially with your high wisdom, and extend spell is usually a better bet. You'll also probably want power attack. More damage is good, just remember to turn it off if you are having even a little bit of trouble hitting.
