I'm thinking about doing a completionist character and doing Paladin and FVS lives back to back. I'm really interested in trying to do so with (mostly) the same set of gear for both. Some key, personal requirements are:

1) Must be a halfling.
2) The FVS life will be a warpriest. (which means...)
3) Faith will be Sovereign Host for Paladin and FVS to use longswords.
4) I would prefer to be sword and board.
5) The maximum splash for either build will be 2 levels. (I don't have access to druid, I have all other classes.)
6) I would like to be able to solo most heroic quests (with or without a hire) and contribute to parties.
7) Don't really need an uber-tank or exceptional epic level build other than level 20-22-ish.

Given that, I'm looking for ideas for both builds and gearing.

I'll farm a Retribution (http://ddowiki.com/page/Retribution) craft a Triple Positive Green Steel Longsword, and have a Divine Vengeance (http://ddowiki.com/page/Divine_Vengeance), a Vengeful Protector shield (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Vengeful_Protector), enough relics and scales for sets of Gianthold Armors, a Light and Darkness (http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Light_and_Darkness), and some other stuff on hand.

Suggestions as to a good set of overlapping gear would be great.

Note: The only divine I've ever played is a Warpriest Cleric... who happens to be Warforged. I have some mid-level Cannith crafting skills, and will plan on farming as much of the gear as I can before TRing. The only major packs I don't have are the Necro chain, VoN, Deleras, and the challenges...

The character in question will have 2 rogue past lives (for what it's worth) and a complete set of +3 attribute tomes.

Any suggestions, constructive advice, etc.?

(Once I get feedback here, I'll probably crosspost to the FVS forum if no on here suggests a good build for FVS as well.)
