Orange20SiderOfDeath 05-08-07, 11:32 AM	Buliding a 2nd lvl Ftr/ 6th lvl Pal. Already picked Dodge, Mobility, Spring attack, Two Weapon fighting and Exotic WP B. Sword. I need one more and cant make up my mind. The abilitys are S-14, D-15, C-10, I-10, W-12, C-16 [30 Point-buy] any great ideas? Please give your input. P.S. I also took charging smite from PHB2.
Rulebook 05-08-07, 04:50 PM	how about Weapon Focus? you're not going to be hitting jack squat with your oversized rapid blitz build otherwise
Zalakhiel 05-08-07, 05:29 PM	You could also try using Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting from Complete Scoundrel. It will allow you to use two bastard swords as if the off-hand one was a light weapon, meaning lots of damage for your foes. Also, don`t neglect whirlwind attack. Combined with Smite Evil, it can be a very devastating maneuver! :D
tafkamhokie 05-08-07, 09:19 PM	Some boring, but still useful ones: Power Attack, for low AC opponents Extra Smiting, because a paladin's smite is darned powerful, you just don't get very many of them Elusive Target from Complete Warrior since you have dodge and mobility anyway Weapon Focus because a reliable +1 to hit is always nice Leap Attack because when combined with a power attack and a smite leads to some devistating damage Any of the divine feats that allow you to burn a turn undead attempt to boost your offense or defense since you will never successfully turn any undead creature anyway.
runestar 05-08-07, 11:44 PM	If you are thinking of dual-wielding bastard swords, I would have to try and dissuade you from doing it. Nor do I see any sort of synergy between spring attack and TWFing. What sort of strategy are you trying to work towards? Your stats aren't all that good. I would go the 2HFing route, assign that 15 to str, 14 to con and 10 to dex. Or keep the 15dex, wear armour spikes and TWF with those.
Saytr 05-09-07, 03:37 AM	IMPROVED TOUGHNESS!! You're a melee character with a 10 CON for the love of god! Don't you think you might need a few hit points? ~
Orange20SiderOfDeath 05-10-07, 03:11 PM	good ideas and i did pick oversized two weapon fighting, good call. also was thinking about leap attack, question, would charging smite, leap attack , [the spell] rhinos rush all stack, AND be able to spring attack away? IF so O.M.G. the build was kind of off the charging smite, but if i was cornerd by more then one creature I can still get a good amount of attk/dmg out there. you people rock, and any more 'ideers' for this build idea?
Savenger 05-10-07, 03:26 PM	I also will suggest improved toughness. You desperatly will need the hit points. You might be able to dich out the hurt, but you really can't take it. the hit points from that feat will help alot in the longrun Savenger
jimpaladin 05-10-07, 04:28 PM	Two weapon defense is an option. Run? improved sunder. combat casting. maximize spell. extend spell Just a few thoughts :) And get some HP for (lawful) Goodness sake:P
Tyberian 05-10-07, 04:38 PM	Have you thought about using divine vigor, I don't remember which source book it is in but it allows you to use a turn undead for temporary hitpoints. Also, I think BAB +6 is all you need to add improved two weapon fighting, so you qualify for that

You can't spring attack with a charge so no for that. Strange build by the way, good luck with it.

It also boosts your speed by 10' so it would help with the spring attacks. it does take a standard action though.
Chimaera2000 05-10-07, 07:44 PM	Divine Might (Complete Warrior) can boost your damage output a fair bit on a full attack. You may be interested in Extra Smiting from the same book, as you'll probably be relying on smiting for the majority of your damag when on a Spring Attack.
Orange20SiderOfDeath 05-12-07, 02:30 PM	ok got it all together feats: mounted com, ride by, spirited charge, two wep fighting, exotic b sword and leadership for a pegasus. charging smite + spirtited charge + the spell rhinos rush = some nice damage , im guessing times 3 on a charge because a doubling of a double is normaly a triple. so, while twohanding 3d10 + 63 damage, not bad for 9th lvl. dont even want to think about criting lol . AGAIN thanks for all your input!:D
