Use a spear and charge away from a flying mount.

paladin - PHB 3.5
Griffin Rider - Unnaproachable East
Cavalier - Complete Warrior

I don't have the books on me right now so i don't know the exact page numbers

02-01-04, 10:31 PM Best LG seems a little vague. It's sort of like saying "best character you can make". Probably 75% of the builds on these boards aren't alignment-specific, and of the ones that are, probably at least a third are specifically LG.

I'd suggest searching the boards for a build that strikes your fancy, then posting here if it can't be lawful good and you want help creating a build that does about the same thing. For example Singh Ranger gives you rage while staying lawful, or if you're smitten with a Wizard/Ur-Priest/Mystic Theurge build but don't know of the good equivalent I'd suggest Wiz/Apostle of Peace/MT instead. Most likely you'll find something that'll work with just a search or browsing though.

02-01-04, 10:43 PM A Knight of the Mystic Fire (paladin/sorcerer of Mystra)

Strap on some twilight mithral full plate and go to town.

Paladin 2 – BAB +2, smite evil 1/day, lay on hands, divine grace
Sorcerer 4 – BAB +2, 2nd level spells (spontaneous arcane)
Spellsword 3 – BAB +3, ignore ASF 15%, +2 caster levels
Eldritch Knight 9 – BAB +9, +8 caster levels, bonus feat
Arcane Duelist 2 – BAB +1, enchant weapon +1, apparent defense

Made without books, may have flaws/errors/ridiculous mistake (anyone interested want to double-check for me?).

Paladin and Sorcerer are 3.5 PHB.
Spellsword is from the Complete Warrior.
Eldritch Knight is in the 3.5 DMG.
Arcane Duelist is found at: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=arcane+duelist

Final stats – BAB +17 (four attacks per round), Fort +14, Reflex +8, Will +11, sorcerer caster level 14, charisma bonus to saves, charisma bonus to armor class (even while armored), ignore 15% arcane spell failure, charisma bonus to attack roll 1/day, detect evil at will, lay on hands for 2xcharisma bonus.

Stats should be ranked charisma, constitution, strength. Wisdom, dexterity, and intelligence are more or less inconsequential.

02-02-04, 01:01 AM Well, you could try this design:

Monk3/Paladin2/Psychic Warrior6/Shintao Monk3/Shou Disciple5/Exotic Weapon Master1

You could sub something else in for the paladin levels if you like. Basically it's a spiked chain/combat reflexes/stand still build that will let you greater flurry (monk classes = 11+) with a spiked chain (shou disciple) and have an extra attack besides (EWM)...I think your BAB is 16 at 20 and so you have quite a few attacks...you could even design a psychic power to imitate the 2nd level spell in savage species and take psionic charge to charge into flurry EVERY turn (if they try to back off they can't either thanks to stand still).

02-02-04, 01:34 AM Could you give more detail? As Golem said, this seems a bit vague. If you're trying for the most combat power or overall effectiveness or something, that's one thing. However, you might be using "best lawful good" to mean that you want to be some sort of paragon of righteousness and virtue and such, and that would be something else. If it's the latter, I'd just grab the BoED, flip to the Saint template, and toss it on the character of your choice. To go even further, check out Squirrel's Diplomacy build (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=163146). I find it hard to compete with this for pure goodness. Switch out Knight of the Stars/Heavens/etc...for whichever version corresponds to LG, if it doesn't already. You can go for a different god if you want, the +4 bonus from the Joy domain is basically optional once you already have a +50 to diplomacy.

Be sure to read to the end of the thread for non-VoP builds and builds that use the Saint template.
