I want him to qualify for the <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20040305a" target="_blank">Hammer of Moradin PrC</a> as soon as possible (9th level being his first PrC level). Basically the idea for this character is that he's the Ultimate Dwarven Hero(tm).The campaign I'm in has 30 pts of point buy and I get the standard 19,000gp for a 7th level character. I know I could qualify as a Ftr/Clr, but I want a pure Paladin unless someone can make a very convincing argument for a Ftr 5/Clr 3 (please include domains you'd pick if you want to try).I guess it's important to note that this character would be the party's healer...but I'm honestly not too stuck on this role.Here's what I've done, feel free to suggest changes.Str 16 (15 start, +1 from 4th level)--8 pts.Dex 10--2 pts.Con 14 (12 +2 racial)--4 pts.Int 12--4 pts.Wis 14 (needed to cast 2nd level divine spells at Pal 8, a prereq for the PrC)--6 pts.Cha 14 (14 -2 racial, +2 Cloak of Charisma)--6pts.From these ability scores, I'd be bumping Charisma at 8th and 12th level and Strength from there on out. I'm guessing a few people will tell me to dump Intelligence, but I'm kind of a sucker for skill points. Wisdom isn't an option because of the prerequisites to the Hammer of Moradin PrC and my desire to qualify as soon as possible.Feats:Weapon Focus (Warhammer)--prereqIron Will--prereqDivine Vigor--from Complete Warrior, spend a turn undead for +2hp/level and +10 ft. of speed for a number of min. equal to Cha modSkills:Craft (weaponsmithing) 10 ranks--prereqDiplomacy 5 ranks (and a +4 bonus from synergies)Knowledge (nobility) 5 ranksKnowledge (religion) 5 ranksSense Motive 5 ranksEquipment:Warhammer +1 (2312 gp)Full Plate +2 (5650 gp)Darkwood Heavy Shield (257 gp)Cloak of Charisma +2 (4000 gp)Boots of Striding and Springing (5500 gp)Wand of Cure Light Wounds (750 gp)345 gp of adventuring gear, noble's outfit and jewelry, etc.185 gp remainingThings I'm considering:-Making Str 14 and Cha 16 (with the Cloak bonus included). This will increase my saves, undead attempts, lay on hands, and smite attack bonus at the expense of combat power. Charisma also affects the goblin/drow/giant bashing abilities and the chaos crusher ability. Note the PrC's Powerful Grip ability as well as how Strength affects the quake and power strike abilities. -Ditching the +2 on the Full Plate and buying Gauntlets of Ogre Power or Gloves of Dexterity-Ditching the boots of striding and springing for Gauntlets of Ogre Power or Gloves of DexterityI appreciate any help you can give me!</blockquote>
