14 Fighter/6 Paladin

[buttaballslasha]

Ok what I am looking for from this build is a AC/dps build. Granted i know that these builds are controversial and yes i know i will be sacrificing either ac or dps or both with this build and as of now it has no gear on it. what i am wondering is. Is it a viable build? any criticism is welcome, as well as gear recommendations as i have yet to make it to end games

I would consider splashing 2 levels of monk in there somewhere for evasion, 2 more feats and wisdom to AC when wearing robes.

[buttaballslasha]

ok so 12/6/2 thx ill figure out where to put those in at any other suggestions

[kuro_zero]

I agree with the 2 monk instead of 2 more fighter, which nets you 1 more feat ti play with. I'd take monk at level 1 for balance as a class skill. You trade a BAB for the feat, however.

I'd dump Int, personally, as human will still get 2 skill points per level and 3 post level 7 with int tome. The 4 build points can be spent on raising dex to 14 and wis to 14, netting you 2 of the 3 AC combat expertise gives you over defensive fighting. This allows you to have similar AC but maintaining power attack for dps and hate gen.

On phone, so not sure if you wanted it for the tactic feats needing it as a pre-req (imp trip, imp sunder). Sap has no save and is a decent CC alternative as replacement.

[unbongwah]

Here's my take on the same basic idea: THF monk 2 / pally 6 / ftr 12 with Sentinel feats to take advantage of the U11 changes to epic Chimera's Fang. Monk adds feats & Evasion (note that the WIS AC bonus is not relevant as it will go S&B when AC and/or dmg mitigation from Shield Mastery is needed); pally 6 / DoS I boosts saves, adds hate bonuses (Divine Righteousness & DoS stance - note these don't stack though), pally wands, some burst DPS boosts (Exalted Smite, Divine Might I, Divine Sacrifice); ftr 12 / Kensai II brings the feats & DPS, of course. There's some flexibility in PrE combos and enhs too: KotC I / SD II, HotD I / Kensai II, less Intim for more HPs or STR - whatever you feel is most useful at any given time. It's also fairly tome-light; all it really needs is +1 INT for CE.
