Hi,

So I know that this build has probably been done a 100 times and there are other ways to achieve the same results (perhaps even better ways) but the difference is this is my build, I used only the Character Planner, DDO Wiki and my own limited knowledge of the game - without using other builds as a reference.

I'm a poor builder and wanted to get back to basics and solidify my knowledge of basic concepts so my other builds wont suck as much.

So be kind.

The goal was to make a first life 32 point Kensei THF Fighter build with no premium classes or races or tomes.

I went pure fighter at first and there were some weaknesses to the build; No self healing, poor saves and lack luster capstone (I focused on Tactics)

So I tried to address these issues> I thought long and hard about going with a rogue splash for evasion and UMD scroll healing+ A Paladin Splash for better saves but decided to try a deeper Paladin splash for healing through Lay on Hands, Unyielding Sovereignty and a CLW backup spell.

I front loaded the Human Dragonmark of Passage to make life easier when leveling ( Expeditious Retreat, DD and Teleport) plus the 30% Healing Amp.

I punted on the skills, thinking at first to just throw my 2 points into Jump and Balance but after adding in the Paladin levels I struggled with adding points to Heal - so some advice there is needed. The level split was to be balanced as I level and front loading the Dragonmark, healing amp, and extra Lay on hands as early as possible, plus to open Unyielding Sovereignty in the low mid levels. The last few levels is dealer choice and I could use some advice here.

Hopefully I made a solid Kensei fighter up to power surge, with descent saves and usable self healing.
I also punted on the name going with the name of the enhancement lines I used - but it might not fit.

So here goes, The Sacred Kensei Knight
