Are you really making a melee with 12 base CON?

As big a proponent as I am about getting HP, remember that the difference between a 12 and a 14 Con is only 20 HP. Hardly going from reasonable to gimp over that threshold.

So far beyond irrelevant that you can't even measure the distance back to the relevancy line using standard Earth measurement.

A Drow 18/2 Paladin/Fighter would be nice; take 2/3x Toughness and use the Fighter levels to replace the THF/TWF Feats with.

Eh. I think the whole point of a drow paladin is DPS, and you're losing a ton by not going pure. You lose Divine Sacrifice III (extra 2d6 every 3 seconds or so), Divine Might IV (2 damage per swing) and the capstone (1d6 to 3d6 per hit depending on enemy, plus the ability to use a much wider variety of weapons for bypassing DR).

You gain Haste Boost I, but I don't think that makes up for what you lose.

BTW, does Divine Might apply to Glancing Blows & Offhand Attacks? If so, uber!


and yeah the 2 Fighter suggestion was to make up for a lack of HP if he needs it. I know about pure Paladin DPS, and they rock, as well as being the only class capable of bypassing Quori boss DR (Crystal+Good, with Terror) at 20 without upgraded Dreamspitter or slotted Epics a shame there aren't many of those. Well, maybe in future packs.

Glancing blows are just a formula of your base damage (weapon + static bonus), so yes, DM does improve those.

The formula, by the way, is weapon + base damage (Str, PA, weapon enhancement bonus, etc...) * 0.2 if you have no feats, then 10% better with each THF feat you take, up to 0.5 (1/2 your normal damage). Also, you get glances on 2 attacks in your chain normally, and gain a 3rd glance with GTHF. If you want to figure your glancing blows into your overall DPS you take your (weapon + base damage) * THF-modified glancing blow value (0.2 to 0.5) *0.5 (no GTHF) or 0.75 (GTHF).

So, if you have all 3 feats and deal 50 damage average with your weapon figured in, your glances do 50*.5 =25 (per swing) *.75 = 18.75 (per attack sequence of 4 swings).
