07-18-06, 08:39 PM I'm trying to develope an Aasimar Paladin 30/ Divine Emmissary 10 for an Epic campaign and I was wondering, what equipment would be most useful? I was thinking of using a Jovar from the Manual of the Planes for that 18-20/ x2 critical, and adding either the Holy Power or Axiomatic Power abilities to the weapon, as well as giving him the Armor of the Celestial Battalion from the Epic Level Handbook. But as far as magic items, I don't know where to start looking!

07-19-06, 09:38 AM so the best thing you can figure as a weapon for a 30th level character is something with a high base die value? you've never played past 15th level ever have you? lol the higher level you go, the less base die damage matters. by 30th level you should have enough abilities, magic, and what have you do EASILY outstrip weapon damage so that theres no difference between 1d6 and 2d8 in th end.

for a 30th level paladin type, a charger is still a valid option (charging with smite and whatever crap 30 levels can stick into it!) otherwise, seriously just stick with a longsword. dont waste feats on weapons that dont matter anymore.

heck you know Holy Avengers are actually pretty nice swords, and at 30th level quite affordable. heck, Holy Devastators are pretty nice on that note! (really nice what with the x2 pally level smites)

Plus, at this level, he could craft a Jovar with most aspects of the Holy Avenger.
