[QUOTE="VonRichthofen, post: 3316067, member: 49184"] Eb, I will spare those around to comment on all your points, most are seconded but some strike me as rather odd. Where did you get the idea that greatsword & buckler can't be combined to make use of the Divine Shield feat? The PHB defines the buckler as a shield, no official FAQ known to me contradicts this, WotC-boards "public view" supports this as well - I honestly don't see a reason. Maybe you could provide hard evidence supporting your view? Apart from that, if you're in want for AC, a -1 to attack for an AC bonus of +3/+X doesn't sound so bad - it's a clear gain. Further, where did you get the idea that Pious Templar casting could ever leave you superior to straight-class casting at very high levels? PrC's final spells are 2/2/2/1 compared to the full class' 3/3/3/3 - there ARE advantages in staying paladin after all, only your reasoning seems somewhat hard to follow. (With a Wis no greater than 19, you will have one more of each 1st & 2nd level, but will lose one of 3rd and two of 4th. Doesn't strike me as a deal. Or did you think of further PrCs? PT has access to the full paladin spell list, however. Only problem remaining is the favored weapon: greatsword. [/QUOTE]
