[QUOTE="Citizen of 2 worlds, post: 534356, member: 6432"] Thanks all, for the input.. I think this is a strong combination, although as some pointed out, it needs a lot of feats, and it takes two actions to activate DM+DS.. that kind of balances it. Jeremy - good points.. A better Paladin build might be to concentrate on the DivM + DivS + Shield Charge + Smite, and take Extra Smite and/or Extra Turning instead of the Ambi/TWF. About the shield as a primary weapon.. If I get it right, it doesn't matter if it is on my off-hand if it is the only arm I attack with, thus giving me full attacks at no off-hand penalty? If so, its almost certainly better to attack with the shield under DM+DS+smite.. Too bad there aren't any official feat that makes it a free action to use divine feats.. although I think I've seen it as an unofficial feat somewhere.. might have been the NetBook of Feats - gotta check that. Spikes.. nice spell, and it's already in DotF.. I overlooked that one, as I thought about quarterstaffs/clubs when reading it. Now.. a Large Wooden Shield of Bashing, anyone? Although, in my copy of DotF, the bonus from spikes is an +2 enhancement bonus, so it will only give a net +1 over a +1 LWSh of bashing. But the extended crit range is nice, and the spell has a long duration. All in all, good points, folks! *looking forward to calculate the projected epic progression with feats as Great Smiting and Dire Charge.. * [/QUOTE]
