I was using a pair of metalline shortswords of greater evil outsider bane on my dwarfen ranger, until I got some metalline good dwarfen axes. A guildy told me those shortswords were perfekt for a certain pala build, but didn’t remember what it was exactly. I got the point that metalline geob works good with the pala capstone, but what pala build uses shortswords? Can you give me a hint please? I want to know if such a build was something I would like to play or I should pass the swords to someone else. Has anybody experience with such a build and could share it with me? Or is anybody on Thelanis desperately looking for exactly such a pair of shortswords? Let me know.

Only thing that comes to mind would be some sort of Paladin/Monk combo that has the Ninja Spy PrE...? They get shortswords as Ki weapons, which is kinda cool. However, I don't think that that would be a particularly powerful character for the simple reason that shortswords don't do very good damage.

Drow makes for a good race on TWF pure paladins, and they have enhancements to improve shortswords and rapiers.
TWF Knight of the Chalice pure paladin as a drow would love those.Useful links: A Guide to Using a Gamepad w/ DDO / All Caster Shroud, Hard Shroud, VoD, ToD Einhander, Elochka, Ferrumrym, Ferrumdermis, Ferrumshot, Ferrumblood, Ferrumender, Ferrumshadow, Ferrumschtik All proud officers of The Loreseekers.

Thanks for the info. Knight of the Chalice sounds good, but I don't play drow. I am a HP adict and a drow wouldn't suit the style I like to play my melees. So if there are drow palas out there who would like to use metalline greater evil outsider bane shortswords: Send me a PM, I am sure we will find an agreement

So far I have not seen any reason why this would be any good for a paladin. The drow enhancement just gives +2 damage to short swords not enough to make them useful. Anyone want to try again ?

The metalline GEOBs did more damage, add in the +2 damage for being a drow with the enhancements for Rap/SS and it just helps it out a bit more.
