Jul 17, 2009 15:33:58 I'm playing a 1st level human cleric who will multiclass to the prestige paladin (UA) once she gets the BAB. Pending DM approval, she'll be taking the Fate (CWar) and Summoning (CDiv) domains, with no particular deity.

Str: 13
Dex: 14
Con: 13
Int: 11
Wis: 18
Cha: 17

The only difference I can tell between the glaive and halberd is that glaives have reach whereas halberds have either piercing or slashing damage. Which is better in this case?

Combine these with the Paladin spells that improve your charge damage. (I forget what they are, but I know they exist.)

Or the +1 valorous lance. Charging is fun!
