[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 3540945, member: 30610"] First off, I build "weird" paladins. I almost never play straight paladin. That said: 1. Just keep the mount. You don't have to specialize in mounted combat - it's a flanking/grappling partner and free celestial storage! If you don't like that, I'd think that charging smite is potentially much more valuable. 2. Turn undead is the single most awesome class feature short of spellcasting. Granted, that isn't because it's super-useful as turn undead; it's useful because of divine feats. DMM: Persistent is not as good for paladins as it is for clerics, but it's feasible. Other good feats include the PHBII feat that gives you an immediate bonus to saves. 3. I tend to play caster/paladins, so all my feats are taken up with things like Practiced Spellcaster and Alternative Source Spell. That said, I suggest Armor Optimization, especially if you wind up going mounted. 4. I don't like low-dex characters, but that's a reasonable allocation. If you aren't using skill points for anything, consider dropping that Int to 8 and getting a higher Wis or Con. 10 Con is risky for a front-liner. 5. Consider multiclassing. Sorc, bard, and pious templar are all very strong options. [/QUOTE]
