Scourge of The Night (Two Weapon Fighting 18 Paladin 2 Monk) (Critique Please!)

[Warlocker]

I have always wanted a Paladin. The best Paladins I saw immediately earned my respect. However I wanted something built by my own hands. After several hours of moving around feats to use the Monk Martial Arts feats to my advantage, along with a nice Lay On Hands and Plenty of Self Buffing Ability, I give you, Scourge of the Night.
(Note: THis is Based off of tomes I currently Have and I will update with new stats as necessary)

Just a few comments and suggestions:

Is there a reason you don't want to go Monk at first level? I just ask because you would get more skill point initially by going monk.

The second I would ask is why Empower Healing and no Improved Critical?

Wisdom of 12 seems a bit much on this guy unless you are trying to eek out some AC. If so then you can disregard this statement. Otherwise you might be better off taking those build points and dumping them into Con or Cha. You can always use a Wisdom item to cast spells if that is what you are worried about.

I understand the Divine Light angle along with Hunter of the Dead but you would probably get more milage out of your APs if you took Divine Sacrifice instead. I would also suggest trying to work in some Exalted Smites in there as well.

[Kourier]

I don't see the potential for AC here so I'm not sure what the wisdom is for.

I'd drop the saves boost, some of the paladin toughness, divine light, and extra smite IV and pick up exalted smite and divine sacrifice - those are important factors in your dps.

I would also drop extend for improved critical - I've played paladins without extend and it isnt THAT BAD.

[Angelus_dead]

I have always wanted a Paladin. The best Paladins I saw immediately earned my respect. However I wanted something built by my own hands.

I don't see Divine Sacrifice or Exalted Smite in your list. Why is that?

[defen]

Short of roleplaying reasons, I can't see the point of doing this on a half-orc. You skip DM, you don't reap the benefit of orcish 2h enhancements, and 16 strength is easily workable on any non-halfling paladin. Since you are interested in large heals, I would strongly recommend going human for the amplification enhancement synergy. A good stat breakdown should be 16str/15dex/14con/15cha or something of that nature. (If you still plan to skip DM, swap that to 15con/14cha to get an even con score with Human Adaptability). Dump wisdom.

[Kourier]

Where's your 2nd monk bonus feat?

Enhancements:

Paladin Improved Turning III

Definitely Take Exalted Smite IV and Divine Sacrifice II.
You can drop Saves Boost, Resistance of Good, Devotion, Energy of Templar, Pal Toughness III-IV, Divine Light in any combination to get those. That's where you will be doing your damage. Do not drop Extra Smite IV, because you need that for Exalted Smite III-IV

Also, you forgot your second Monk feat. Take Toughness at level 2, and PA at 12. This will allow you to fit in Improve Crit: Slashing w/o dropping any of your other feats.

[Junts]

This is really not a very strong build.

You've taken 18 paladin levels while basically avoiding taking any of the good features of the paladin class (divine sacrifice, might, exalted smite, knight of the chalice) and while choosing statistics and weapons that are directly asynergistic with them.

[Warlocker]

Thanks for the Feedback guys! Im not sure why I took some of the things that was pointed out, going back to re-work a few things and will update accordingly. I really appreciate the help, this being my first Paladin.
I should stop building things when running on minimal sleep, I tend to spend alot less time and leave out things I generally would not.

[Kinerd]

Definitely Take Exalted Smite IV and Divine Sacrifice II.
You can drop Saves Boost, Resistance of Good, Devotion, Energy of Templar, Pal Toughness III-IV, Divine Light in any combination to get those. That's where you will be doing your damage. Do not drop Extra Smite IV, because you need that for Exalted Smite III-IV

Also, you forgot your second Monk feat. Take Toughness at level 2, and PA at 12. This will allow you to fit in Improve Crit: Slashing w/o dropping any of your other feats.

Energy of the Templar is needed for Knight of the Chalice. If the OP decides to stick with Hunter of the Dead then it's safe to drop, if not they actually need more.

Paladins with evasion are really good at not dying. With a little tweaking you can also be good at killing things.

[Warlocker]

So then, change around level progression, fixed the feats, changed to KotC, changed enhancments, and raised Strength and dumped wisdom. How does this look?

I understand the desire to use half orc, but as someone with such a build (an 18/2 dpsing self-healing paladin/monk), I can tell you that I don't think half orc is the optimal race. There's very little damage gained from the str alone, and you won't have the hit to sustain half-orc powerattack in epic. You'd be better off with human and spending that feat on oversized twf, which is essentially a net swing of about 4 to hit upwards. Hitting is pretty critical and its something that melee paladins are not particularly good at.

Here's a link to my build. its 36 points and built around what I have statisticaly, but the 32 pt version had 16 str/15 dex/12 con/16 cha as its base stats.

Featwise etc, it's unchanged.
