Greater resiliency + Templar = Munchkin ?

[Mal Malenkirk]

Why? I'd be interested to hear why you think so, as many people on these boards have complained that neither of the Paladin prestige classes in DotF are worth it...

It's not so much a paladin PrC. It's more for fighters.

All you have to do is manage to reach 8 rank in religion (by taking a first level as a paladin, i.e.) and you gain a class that will give you much more than you'd ever dream of having as a fighter.

If you take paladin at level 1 and then 4 levels as a fighter (putting two skill points in religion each time) you'll qualify at level 5. As a human with 12-13 INT it's not too high a price.

And then compare the benefit of 10 levels of Templar to 10 levels of fighter...
