    Default Paladin multiclass build?

    I've tried searching for any CHA paladin/sorceror builds but can't find any, basically im looking to make a drow CHA pala with some utility buff spells from sorc, is it worth it at all? I've seen several fighter/wizard builds but can't seem to find any pala/sorc builds, i find this hard to believe if i can make a multiclass that benefits from both stats

    First you should try playing a pure melee or caster first. Then, ask if you really want to give up your Sorc arcane prowess and Paladin melee prowess for a fun and versatile, but less uber and much less popular, battlecaster build.

    Then check out the Arcane Knight and Tukaw. Both are great. But both really, really, really benefit from being Warforged (self-heal) and having good equipment waiting for you at all the big levels. The buff-and-hack specialized battlecasters are not as friendly to newer players as builds that still focus on DPS casting with a little melee for fun.

    If you are stubborn like I was and want a fleshie version, IMO a 32 point Elf is superior to the Drow. You don't need a high CHA, which releases you from needing the Drow +2. And Scims are superior melee weapons to Short swords. Paladins of the Undying Court get the +1 to hit with scimmies, and Elves +2. That +3 to hit is invaluable on a build with a low BAB.

    Rogue is great because the UMD, but since Pallies and Sorcs are both feat starved, you would probably be happier with Monk.

    EDIT: And most important thing: it's not worth it to splash Sorc for level 1 and 2 buffs. You need 8 to 12 few levels of sorc as a minimum before your spells actually become useful; and by that point, you are looking at an entirely different creation from the traditional paladin. And even then, a high UMD skill will allow even a pure Paladin without a single caster level to use wands to self-cast spells like Stoneskin and Shield. That's why the general rule is to avoid Multiclassing caster classes.

    I had a very successful Pally6/wiz14 Build, AC 115, Prr 157, Mrr 102, 25% Wraith Incoporiality, 50% Displacement, 20% dodge, Around 450 HP and an INTIM of 65.... not to bad for a 1/2 Elvin wiz/Pally
