[QUOTE="Endur, post: 435602, member: 3346"] [b]Single-classed Paladins are awesome![/b] Single-classed Paladins are awesome! For all of the reasons other people have said above. Plus, your character is a hero! Everyone knows that you are a hero! And D&D was made for heroic characters. If you can, buy scrolls of Holy Sword. Its an awesome spell (4th level Paladin spell) that makes a weapon +5 and does double damage against evil creatures. Perfect for those fights against the big evil boss. Special Mounts are awesome in battle. Improved Evasion, high AC with barding, three attacks, eventually get SR, etc. A 5th level Paladin's heavy warhorse is usually better in battle than the 5th level Paladin. My Paladin doesn't have riding feats or many ranks in ride, so when we are outside, my Paladin sometimes fights on foot next to his horse. If you can persuade your GM, try and get a celestial mount or a winged mount using the rules from DOTF. If your DM lets you use feats from the Builder books, Divine Might and Extra Smiting are great. Divine Might lets you use your turn attempts to give you more damage in battle (thank the Sage for making Divine Might a free action). Extra Smiting=at high level this is awesome; at epic level extra smiting = destroy demon lord. I'm building a single classed Paladin right now and my feat plan is level 1: Mounted Combat, Power Attack (pre-req for Divine Might); level 3: Divine Might; level 6+: Extra Smiting. And Epic Level Single-classed Paladins are unstoppable. Great Smiting is the only epic feat you'll ever need! Tom [/QUOTE]
