Ossrock - Mystra's Champion

[FuzzyDuck81]

Due to the changes in Tensers Transformation & Bladesworn Transformation helping to make melee arcanes more viable, i threw together the build below as an idea for an arcane paladin.

Slightly outdated version of the planner so there will actually be a couple more APs available to put somewhere. For level 21 i'm planning to take overwhelming criticals & level 24 i'll take +1 con for the stat boost which will let me get epic toughness to boost HP a bit more.

Basically it'll be a 2hander user, with either the unyielding sentinel or legendary dreadnaught destiny (most likely dreadnaught as the stay-in option once i work my way round to there, also fury is a possibility), mithril body will give some PRR & AC to aid damage mitigation though it'll primarily be coming from displacement - also it'll look cooler Reconstruct for self healing, which should also work in bladesworn mode too (since that only blocks divine healing) & i think those 2 should also stack since tensers is alchemical & bladesworn is profane, which will be useful for an extra kick when needed.

I don't expect it to be an exceptional character but i think it should be pretty capable, though certainly look a little weird

No PREs? I have considered a similar build myself PmII(wraith)/dosI with US incorporeal hate tank ftw

[FuzzyDuck81]

...i musta been half asleep when i put it together & forgot to stick the tier 1 DoS enhancements in, doh... For wizard though, probably not since that'd require spell focus feats, detracting from the melee capabilities - and frankly, this build will need all the help it can get to be melee viable

[kanbeki]

imo on a build like this the thf feats are a complete waste, cleave and great cleave are your dps feats, would free up a feat for overwhelming critical and still give you 2 feats to play with, at least that was my idea

[FuzzyDuck81]

Well overwhelming crit would still fit regardless, but yeah will look into some adjustments - still not especially keen on the undead option personally, as self healing would be more reliable in robot form, initial feeling is the extra feats from 2hf could probably go into dodge/mobility/spring attack instead for some dodge chance to increase the damage mitigation, then once in epic levels twist in unearthly reactions from magister & perfect balance from GMoF (assuming they stack) which will give a nice extra amount of avoidance chance.
