Healadin? (kinda)

[notforyou]

was thinking about rolling a 19/1 pally/sorc with intents to focus on a bit of everything healing/dps/tanking(occasionally). so was gonna roll 16 10 14 8 12 16 as human. any suggestions or criticisms? btw i do have all the races unlocked and 32 pt (or 34 pt if i TR my wiz)

you won't need any extra spell points.

you lose out on the paladin capstone which isn't too shabby, for 80SP.. trust me, even with base level wisdom, you will have more than plenty wisdom to go around.. and nothing to really heal with that is spell oriented.. the individual cure mods won't really cut much except for yourself and maybe someone in a pinch..

on the other hand

half-orc makes for a very nice THF DPS pally

Don't splash sorc, the capstone is too good to give up for a tiny bit of SP. If you want self-healing you'll want items like the torc, a conc opp GS item, and feats like maximize and quicken. I can hit myself for ~150-200 per cure serious I cast. Also, each bracket of wisdom only gives you +29 sp. Not really worth spending build points in. Count on your sp topping out around 600-700 regardless of what you do.

the capstone is meh imo. only 1d6 or 2d6 vs outsiders isn't that uber tbh

That's much better than 80sp heh.

An extra 1d6/2d6 damage per hit is nothing to sneeze at. Especially TWF where it adds up quickly.

Its 1d6 Holy against any Evil Opponent. It is then 2d6 Light Damage versus Evil Outsiders *or* Undead.

So technically, its an extra 3d6 damage against Evil Outsiders, because the 1d6 Holy stacks. a TWF KotC with the ToD set bonus would do their base weapon damage, supplemental elemental/alignment damage from the weapon, 7d6+7 Bane damage, and 3d6 Holy/Light Damage. So that's an extra 10d6+4 Per Swing, with a 110% chance main hand and an 80% change offhand.

TL;DR Version : Paladin Capstone is worth it.

OP: I'm sorry, the idea is horrible. Stick to pure Pally. You're much better served setting yourself up with some Healing Amp via items or enhancements to make your Spells/Pots/Scrolls/Wands hit you for higher values than you are worrying about upping your SP pool.

If you just really want the sorc advantages from 1 level of sorc, you might as well go helf and dilly sorc. It won't get you the SPs, but it will give you access to all the wands, and higher chances on scrolls, since you already wouldn't have much chance for high level scrolls anyway. for 6 AP, I think, you can be a pure pally and use scrolls and wands like a level 10 sorc splash.
