[QUOTE="Endur, post: 2386510, member: 3346"] If you are going the Kensai route, you will need the Complete Expertise feat which requires a mininum int of 13. Also, I would recommend having charisma as your highest stat. Constitution should be your second highest stat, since it is very important to a Kensai. So here is how I would rearrange your stats. Every four levels, I would use your stat bonus to increase one of your odd statistics to an even number. Human Paladin 3; medium sized human; HD 3d10; hp 29; AL LG; SV Fort +8, Ref +3, Will + 5; Str 13, Dex 9, Con 15, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 17 Skill Ranks: Concentration 6, Diplomacy 6, Sense Motive 6, Ride 5, Knowledge Religion 5, Knowledge Nobility and Royalty 2 Feats: Combat Expertise, Weapon Focus: Great Sword, Power Attack At level 6, I would recommend taking Divine Might (Complete Warrior). Also at level 6, you enter the Kensai class With a high charisma, sense motive, diplomacy, and oaths to law and good, your character is the sort of character that NPCs will like to meet and discuss with. Your character will probably become the diplomat for the party. Ride and the Knowledge skills only require 5 ranks each. You want as many ranks as possible in concentration (vital for Kensai). Diplomacy and Sense Motive are also skills that can use lots of ranks. Sense Motive may save your life. Dex does not have to be very high ... use heavy armor. For equipment, I recommend: Masterwork Full Plate Armor, Masterwork Great Sword, whatever else you want to buy. [/QUOTE]
