First thing I noticed about the Fighter class is that their skills do not suffer from any armor penalties. My goal is to have a 14/6 or 15/5 or something like that Paladin/Fighter, but last level I want leveled as paladin.

1. The question I have is ....As a Paladin with the few levels of fighter, will the Paladin be rewarded the no-penalty to skills like the fighter, when it comes to heavy armor?

2. Second question....does toughness still stack among Paladin, Fighter, Barb?


Searched around the last two days and did not see anything answering the above, if you know the answer please post here and refrain from more links. Appreciate just direct yes or no answers...thanks!
