[QUOTE="pressedcat, post: 3120013, member: 40736"] Hi, i'm about to start a new character and i'd appreciate some input. My plan is to start with a single level in fighter and then multiclass into paladin (with no particular prestige class in sight). My stats (as i've currently ordered them) are: Human Str 15 Dex 10 Con 12 Int 10 Wis 13 Cha 14 Feats: Shield spec (hvy) (phb2), Shield ward (phb2), Imp. shield bash (phb), Agile shield fighter (phb2). Flaw: Shaky (ua) As you can see, i was going to focus on trying to improve my ac and fighting abilities through the use of a shield. I've taken a single flaw, but am not keen on taking any more. I was intending to boost strength at level 4, then focus on charisma/wisdom from then on. I'll also be taking the charging smite variant from the phb2 and will probably pick up extra smiting and a couple of the divine feats (vigor/shield) with my lvl 6+ feats. My questions are: 1. Should i swap the cha and str stats about? There are bonuses to both higher str and cha, but i think i'd appreciate the extra +1 to hit/dam more; opinions? 2. Is Shield ward worth it? It gives shield bonus to touch ac and as a bonus to resist bull rush etc which is nice, but i'm not sure whether its worth the feat. 3. What should i take for my lvl 3 feat. Power attack jumps to mind, but i'm not sure how worth it it is if i'm only ever going to be wielding weapons one handed. Another option was Shield charge from comp.war. (free trip attempt whan charge with shield). I like the idea of the second feat more as it feeds on the use of my shield as an offensive weapon, but i'm not sure which feat would be paying out more. 4. Are there any more feats out there (in ed 3.5) that would complement/improve on my current feat choices. I've got the three core books plus comp. adv/arc/div/war, but the dm is allowing all 3.5 edition books (though i don't think anyone in the group owns book of nine swords or anything since then). Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
