I can see Allitur having paladins. He certainly isn't the "usual suspect" but could certainly work.

Rolling hit points

Disregard, see that fixed

Wilph, it looks like you missed Divine Grace on your saving throws. Which with the +3 from that, you might want to change one of your Iron Will feats to something else (or keep it, and keep your Will save extra high).

 

[Kobold Stew]

Okay Wilphe it looks like you've started a good build. Go ahead and flesh everything else out and I'll go over it for final approval.

I see you've closed recruiting. Thanks for considering me -- I'm sorry that my HW build didn't work out. Have a great time, everyone!

Thanks.

I will check when I get in, but I think that is:

4 Base
2 for 14 Wis
6 (4 from 18CHA + 2 Feat)

Lightning Reflexes might be better.

Might also swap out the Cold Iron on the sword

 

[Wilphe]

Greatsword is now plain steel

Armour is now +3 Adamantine rather than +5


That gives an extra 3200 gp to spend, any ideas what to put that on except more cure sticks?

Okay, a few things I want to comment on:

Allitur: A paladin of Allitur would be practically unheard of. I wasn't trying to say it wasn't possible, but very unlikely? Yes, it would be very unlikely. Most people would respond "Alli-who?" He's a flan god who has a much stronger following in the northern Flanaess amongst the predominantly Flan tribes. Elsewhere his temples are few and far between. The typical cleric of Allitur you cite whose travels take him far into hostile lands would generally be in pursuit of some specific task, which unfortunately doesn't have a ready tie-in to this campaign, which is one of the reasons I don't think it makes a good fit. As for allies, the only thing tying you to the temples in Greyhawk would be your alignment. Paladins do not require a patron deity (nor do clerics for that matter), so actually not having a patron deity would be more likely in my personal opinion than having Allitur as a patron deity. He really just doesn't fit the mold for a paladin.

Jurance: I'll take a close look at the character sometime this week. We are on track to begin the campaign in a week or two.

Iron Will: Even with divine grace, I can't see a high Reflex save as being anywhere near as important as a high Will save. You are at the level where you have to routinely deal with mind-affecting and compulsion effects which can turn you against the party. Buffering you against that is crucial. Losing hit points because you failed a save against a cone of cold is less catastrophic than being dominated to turn around and attack your party wizard.

Steel/other metals: You might as well make your sword out of something other than steel. At the very least spend the minimal gold to make it a cold iron or alchemical silver weapon. You might even want to consider making it adamantine. I would even go so far as to say you ought to carry a secondary weapon of a different metal type for when you really need it. Anyone who knows me knows I am quite opposed to players who want to carry around a veritable golf bag of weapons. But having a silver short sword at your side isn't a bad idea.

Incidentally, here is my general rule for the number of weapons you can reasonably carry:
-1 weapon carried (can be any size your character can wield)--this weapon must be dropped if you wish to swap weapons and there is no place to sheathe or stow it
-1 two-handed weapon strapped to the back
-2 one-handed or light weapons at either side--sheathed and strapped to the belt or tied to the belt by a lanyard
-1 quiver of bolts or arrows either on the back or on the side (more can be stowed in a backpack or something similar but would require a move action to retrieve)
-up to 10 very small weapons (no larger than a dagger) in various locations around the body--strapped to boots, bandolier, thighs, etc.
-Heward's handy haversack can only hold light weapons
-a bag of holding can hold a weapon of any size

That was more of my thinking too, but I needed it confirmed by someone who knows better than me

You might even want to consider making it adamantine. I would even go so far as to say you ought to carry a secondary weapon of a different metal type for when you really need it. Anyone who knows me knows I am quite opposed to players who want to carry around a veritable golf bag of weapons. But having a silver short sword at your side isn't a bad idea.

I was considering buying something blunt and adamantine for special occassions.
Otherwise I was mostly expecting to power attack through DR.

This is a reason why I almost always buy a quiver of Elhonna, and took Quickdraw.

Do we have any idea before we go down there, what it is we are likely to be facing?

Or is the answer either "You don't know" or "Everything", which is effectively the same for this purpose


You want me to stat a cohort, or just say what he is trying to attract?

Without magic he has leadership 15

Which is good for a 10th level cohort, was thinking either Ranger or Paladin or Monk.

Followers:
1 x 3rd
2 x 2nd
20 x 1st

Which I think might be PC classes yes?
