Arlonnion 03-15-04, 02:16 AM	I am just now converting my character from 3.0 to 3.5 (haven't played in a while). My character is a 4th level paladin who was able to take the Divine Might feat at 3rd. But now in 3.5, paladins don't get the Rebuke Undead ability until 4th. Does this mean I cannot choose Divine Might as a feat until 6th now? Also what version of Divine Might is Living Greyhawk using, the Defenders of the Faith version or Complete Warrior? Thanks in advance. Arlonnion Lightbringer

With 3.5 (and when LGCS 3.0 is made official) you can take Divine Might without additional hoops, but you can't take it at 3rd since paladins don't get turn undead until 4th (in my opinion making it even less useless in LG except for fueling the Divine feats, and except for one instance I haven't seen where channeling positive energy shows up.). The Divine Feats in Complete Warrior replace those in Defenders of the Faith.
Arlonnion 03-15-04, 03:13 AM	Oh well, guess I will take a different feat. Should I take mounted combat at third or extra smite (assuming the extra smite in Complete Warrior will override the DotF)? At 1st level I took power attack and cleave.

mathias_cerene 03-18-04, 04:29 PM	While Extra Smiting is nice (and looks like will be Core per the draft LGCS 3.0), you need a BAB +4 to take it, which is a little odd and annoying. Mounted Combat is good if you have the ranks in Ride to make it useful (Spirited Charge is scary). While it's a little situational, after 5th you can summon your horse whenever & wherever you need him. Blind-Fight is a useful feat, even if it doesn't help with incorporeal miss chance. Weapon Focus helps to offset the penalty from using Power Attack, plus it's nice flavor if you take it with your deity's favored weapon.
Random Tosk 04-17-04, 11:35 AM	how significant is the change from Divine Might in Defenders of the Faith vs. Divine Might in Complete Warrior?

Macabail 04-20-04, 11:27 AM	Just to clarify as well... If you currently have the Divine Might feat, and have to replace it, then you cannot also swap out any other required feats (like Extra Turning). (The above is as per my discussions with Dave Christ). James Zwiers Duchy Triad
Aramil 04-21-04, 12:18 AM	In my opinion, my pally is turning out quite well. I'm at 6th level and I've taken the spirited charge route which is indeed quite scary if you get the chance to use it. I've also just taken extra smiting as my 6th level feat which is really coming in handy aganst the 'big boss battles' at the end of the modules. I don't know what you want your pally to be roleplaying wise but mine is really just a fighter with lay on hands so these feat selections really work well for me. I've survived this far haven't I?
