Accessing Divine Might

[Reos]

Does Paladin Charisma enhancement count towards unlocking Divine Might? I'm guessing not, but thought I'd ask to be sure.

Moreover, is it really worth it to pump base Cha to 18 just to access DM4?

Thanks!

No enhancements do not count, it's like TWF like that. As to whether it's worth it, it depends on your build honestly, and whether you can afford it or not.

Nope - it's base Charisma + level ups + tomes only.

Keep in mind that for a Paladin, charisma affects more than just the level of DM you qualify for.

+2 tomes aren't as rare as they used to be.

It's just so expensive (point-wise) to start your charisma at 18. In the case of a WF Pally, it becomes a very daunting task to reach 20 Cha. Is it really worth it to give up the Str?

I did Str on my WF Pali, and with a +2 tome I think I have either a 22 or 24 Cha. Of course I can only access DM2 because my base is only 16 I think, but my smites are critting in the 400's, and my LoH are hitting for 196 without any boost.

I would start with Cha 16 and hope to bank +3 tome at some point by level 20 and use 1 level up to charisma. This will save you valuable build points since paladin needs quite a few stats and you dont need that base 20 cha before lvl 20. My idea was to put 1 level up point to cha at lvl 12 so I can pop +1 tome and have 18 base at lvl 15 for DM III. And then just wait to pull +3 tome or use +2 tome and another level up to cha @ 20.

My paladin is a drow

I started with 16str 12dex 12con 10 int 8 wisdom and 18 charisma with intent on at some point getting a +6 wis item so I can cast spells

I have few regrets
