[QUOTE="Ovarwa, post: 6810142, member: 75153"] Hi, Tome lets you take Shillelagh, which lets you use Cha instead of Str for attacking with a staff, which also works as an arcane focus. Your first 2 ASIs bring Cha to 20, which then helps your Auras, your melee, your EB, and many other spells. That's great for combat. (Then you can take 2 more cantrips from any list. Guidance? Minor Illusion? Then you get the big book of rituals, take Find Familiar first, and go collect all the rituals. That's great for utility.) Of course, if you want to maximize melee damage, a polearm or greatsword is better. Pa1/Wa4 gives you a second attack at the same time as everyone else (2 * [1d10 + 4]), and delays the first ASI by just one level. That's not bad. Start with Str16 and Cha16, boosting Cha and ignoring Str. Pa9 offers level3 Paladin spells. Some of these are very useful. At worst, you have 2 more level 3 slots for smites. But if you like the Warlock stuff better, that's fine too. Anyway, Ken [/QUOTE]
