Champion of the Gods

[RumbIe]

I am curious why you went with 4 Pally / 14 FvS over 3 Pally / 15 FvS?

The extra level of Pally only gets you +1 Fort save and 1 first level spell, and while Divine Favor is nice on a lvl 9+ pally, it is only +1 damage at level 4. To get that you give up either Resurrection (bad idea) or Cure Serious, Mass (loss of flexibility as a healer if needed).

Am I missing something or are you trying to access tier 4 Sacred Defender Enhancements?

Wow. I have no idea why I went 4 Pally. It actually wasn't intended. Thanks for the catch. Since it's not an AC build like my shuri-thrower monk there's no reason to sacrifice anything for AC.

Also thanks for the responses. Still trying to get a few more comms for an star of day before TR-ing and I was on vacation for a bit and just read the responses.

So I ran it through the old character planner again without the fumble of 4 pally levels. A couple of things. I have +4 tomes in all except Int. I could probably get a +4 tome for him if really necessary. They are on sale right now. In fact I may, but my focus was on max umd and heal then +1 tumble, balance when leveling monk and a few in spellcraft for extra light power I guess. If I had another skill point to play with I'd just pump spellcraft most probably. It's also only a 2nd life so I dropped CHA to 19 and threw the extra point in STR. However I'm not sure if that's the best idea per my next comment.

Looking at the original it seems you take Improved TWF early on (possibly level 9??? based on the number in parenthesis), but I'm not sure how. You start with a dex of 13 like me, but you need 17 dex to get ITWF. That wouldn't happen until after the +4 tome kicks in at level 15, at which point you can take it. As mentioned i throw my extra point in STR, but I could just as easily throw it in dex which would allow me to take ITWF after my +3 tome kicks in at level 11. (So i could take it at level 13) Would that be worth it or since it is STR based for twf damage should I keep it in STR and just muscle through levels 11-15?
