Which is like a Charisma bonus of equal size except that it is one third as big, doesn't add to lay-on hands, doesn't add to smite evil, and allows you to get some crappy little spells.Did I just say crappy little spells? I sure did! You'd get Holy Sword faster by multiclassing into Cleric Levels and taking the Glory Domain. Paladin Spells suck with both hands - so holding them up as "worthwhile" is a joke. They aren't even worth taking the class to get - let alone taking the class and having to bogart otherwise useless stat bonuses for.Wisdom is less than 1/3 as good for a Paldin as Charisma is - and is thusly completely lame. And of course, in 3.5 Enhancement Bonuses to Intellect do not carry over into skill points, rendering that portion of the item completely worthless.So the Paladin gives a damn about 4 stats (maybe only three if he already has a Dex of 16). That's a lot, but a bonus to 4 stats with the cost increase for being multipurpose on one item would still only cost 198,000 gp - and the item in question costs slightly more than that. So for the Paladin, it's a pretty good deal - 3 good stat increases, one moderate stat increase, one minor stat increase, and a meaningless stat bump all for the price you'd pay for 4 stat increases if they were all good.What's the problem?-Frank</blockquote>
