[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5557519, member: 16069"] [code] Str: 14 (+2) Dex: 11 (+1) Con: 14 (+2) (+2 Race) Int: 10 (+0) Wis: 15 (+2) (+2 Race) Cha: 16 (+3) [/code] The rest of it looks okay only your stats seem a little underpowered for the following reasons, to begin with Dwarves Now get +2 Con and a +2 for either Strength or Wisdom. Paladin favours probably Wisdom 3rd best, Charisma 2nd best and Strength primary- I realise you only have the PHB but there seem to be a lot more powers that are reliant on Str over Cha- having said that you can easily do it the other way around and go for primary Cha, second best Strength- the problem with this is you get a free +2 to your strength (if you take it instead of Wisdom), so you can clearly get a higher Strength score than Charisma- if you wanted to. A lot of players just use the arrays to build their characters, the usual arrays are- 16,14,14,11,10,10- the all rounder or 18,14,11,10,10,8- the top heavy or 16,16,12,11,11,8- the master class The all rounder would give you (if you picked Strength over Wisdom)- Str 18 Con 16 Cha 14 Wis 11 and the rest wherever For the top heavy (Str over Wis)- Str 20, (Cha 14 Con 13 or Con 16 Cha 11) Wis 10 and the rest wherever For the master class (as above)- Str 18 (Cha 16 Con 14 or Con 18 Cha 12) Wis 11 and the rest wherever If you want you Lay on Hands to be of use of course you need to get your wisdom up... Looking at the PHB- At wills- Cha vs AC Bolstering Strike, Enfeebling vs Str vs AC Holy & Valiant- I know which two are the better (I think). Encounters- Again the Strength powers are better, mainly because one of them is versus Reflex rather than AC. Daily- only one Daily for Str, but your Daily powers get used... well once/day, and the one Str Paladin's Judgement is 3x Weapon (and if its a chunky weapon...) and does a bit of Healing. Again- you go with what you want, I would seriously start with the arrays though- just easier that way. Any other help then don't hesitate. Cheers Goonalan Having said that this is an RP game- [/QUOTE]
