[QUOTE="Lord Sessadore, post: 4432121, member: 57255"] On skills: If we want to double up on Diplomacy Sargil can stay how he is currently (I switched Endurance for Diplomacy - having only +4 on a trained skill was depressing :(), or I can switch Diplomacy for a +10 Insight ... what do you guys think? Doesn't matter to me whether I have Diplomacy or Insight. I'm fine waiting to see what the other two bring for skills, too. On tactics: [COLOR=Green][COLOR=Lime]Holy Strike[/COLOR][COLOR=White] is basically bonus damage against someone Sargil's marked, and [COLOR=Green][COLOR=Lime]Valiant Strike[/COLOR][COLOR=White] can be really accurate if he's surrounded - good for a defender. Neither provides any tangible benefit to anyone else though, other than the target being a little deader. Paladin's don't get any powers that grant others combat advantage (at least not until 7th level), but [COLOR=Red]Piercing Smite[COLOR=White] lets me mark up to 4 enemies for 1 round (and is vs. Ref), and [COLOR=Red]Arcing Smite[COLOR=White] can let me mark 2 targets for 1 round. Since my [COLOR=Lime]Divine Challenge[/COLOR] is single target and takes a minor action to switch, I figured I'd load up on marking powers to try and take as much pressure off whoever needs it. [COLOR=DimGray]Paladin's Judgement [COLOR=White]is basically just big damage with a healing surge for an ally on top. Sargil also has [COLOR=Red]Channel Divinity: Divine Mettle[COLOR=White] which gives an ally a saving throw with +2 bonus. So either we can have two saving throws to give out per encounter or Patresh can take more healing. The other part of my Channel Divinity is [COLOR=Red]Divine Strength[COLOR=White], which gives Sargil +4 damage on his next attack. So I guess we sort of have 1.5 saving throws to give per encounter. I was thinking, maybe I should switch Quick Draw for Durability to offset the 3 healing surges/day for [COLOR=Lime]Lay on Hands[COLOR=White] ... opinions? Taking Durability would leave me with 10 surges for myself even if I use all 3 Lay on Hands that day, instead of 8.
