Snuff, 36pt Defender of Siberys

[aurum1]

Time for my final TR and I wanted some input from the Paladin community on my plans.

Build Goals-
1) Higher DPS than a straight 20 fighter Stalwart Defender
2) 80 intimidate for elite Hound
3) 72 AC TWF (+2 prot evil =74) for Soulomades normal
4) Reasonable route to 80-85 AC S&B
5) Hate tank Horoth with a head start of ~5-10 seconds (group killing 1st two Orthons)

Build Restrictions-
1) Snuff is a dwarf. I don't care that humans are better intimitanks.
2) Build can only REQUIRE a +3 dex tome. My luck with good tomes is horrible. A 20th hox & ToD are coming up in a few days so hoping for a +4 cha tome there, but that can wait until after the TR as well.
