Idea for Sorc/Pally Build

[DigDug71113]

I have played PnP DD for years and very new to DDO. I did the first 10 levels to see if this would even work. Has the saves of a Pally and 1 lay on hands. Can some Vets please give me some help?

Anyone out there have any thoughts on this build?

Loss in casting power >> gain in defense through better saves.

+ will have difficulties in joining many groups.

1. FOP is pointless on someone who already has cha saves and high Will progression.
2. MT is a bad value on someone who already has sorc mana progression.
3. Going pal2 is an acceptable option for sorc builds.
4. UMD would be better than dip, intim, or bluff.
5. Con12 is less than a sorc would want.
6. Str14 implies you want to use melee combat, which gives you even more reason to be a Warforged. Self-targeted Reconstruction is important.

Thanks for your input. I wasn't sure about STR. Based on what you said, it would be better to have a 10 STR and put the rest of the points into CON. Why UMD for heal scrolls?

I'm trying the same; stats are about the same but i went with 16 str and 18 chr.

Only at level 3: pal 2/sorc 1.

I've decided the drow weapon enhancements are a waste; i'll probably pick up thf at level 6.
Even on Korthos I'm getting my Niac's resisted a lot although hypnotism is working well.

Do I need UMD?
