Heavy armor, big 2H weapons or dual-wielding, never shields. "Unholy" DK is all about corrupting your targets with magical diseases, inflicting "festering wounds" and making those wounds "burst" to deal extra damage, and expending "runic power" (castoff energy from when you spend your recharging runes) to inflict rapid extra strikes. "Frost" DK is all about dual-wielding (you don't have to, but I'm fairly sure you generally should), the idea being that you bleed the heat and life from your enemies with frost, allowing you to rip them to shreds and freeze them in their tracks, still using the same runes and runic power system but with a different focus. (There's also "Blood" DK, but that's a tanking spec and I suspect probably not what the player wants to focus on, though I could be wrong.My only modification to ECMO3's stuff [USER=7045779]@Jaiken[/USER] would be to replace the "ball of fire" with a cone of cold spell. 15th level is a little bit early for a 5th-level spell on a Paladin, but cone of cold is substantially more thematic, and does essentially exactly the same damage (10d6=35, 8d8=36). It requires a Constitution save rather than a Dexterity one, but I think that fits with trying to go up against a being that is sapping the life out of you more than a flung ball of fire does. If you want to limit the power of this feature, I'd say just copy the cone of cold text, but have it target only a single enemy rather than multiple. That would definitely drop it to being roughly a 4th level spell. (Raulothim's psychic lance has a better damage type and better range, but deals 1d8 less damage; that seems a pretty reasonable comparison. There are surprisingly few single-target damage spells at this level.)</blockquote>
