[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5045068, member: 71571"] (Putting + before attribute scores is confusing, made me think those were his base bonuses for those abilities. Try not to do that too much.) Not really a poorly built character... but his problem is simply from the fact he's not put a lot of points into Constitution. He probably didn't focus all his points into a single secondary, spread them around a bit. So the problem is, quite simply, he has an attack in a score he didn't put his attribute points into. Of -course- it is gonna suffer. There's no feat that fixes that, there should be no feat that fixes that. In the case of a Charisma-based paladin, he's probably better off putting more points in Wisdom or Strength. Constitution only gives you a small handful of hitpoints, and a couple extra surges which, to be honest, you don't have a shortage of as a paladin. Wisdom would make his secondary effects nicer, and Strength would all him to make DC badnasty, while allowing greater flexibility in power choice, AND be useful for Dragonbreath, making it viable all the way up. Had his Strength been increased as much as his Charisma, and gone that route, he'd have a +20 to hit with his Dragonbreath--being 3 shy of a weapon attack with a minor action that targets NADs is not a bad place to be. So, his problem is strictly because of how he built his character and distributed his attribute bonuses. Nothing else is broken beside that. [/QUOTE]
