[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 5146323, member: 82504"] Divine with heaviest "physical" armor and a sword in your face.... ;). Hey you dont even have to train religion if you dont want you are a hybrid. The bright lights are "magic" ... once they bleed together with Arcane.... and it isnt that hard to avoid touchy feely healing elements... even with a straight paladin... (Ardent comes to mind.) Going a step further and invokers wisdom works better with the more beligerant style paladin... a touch of multiclass to up martial quotient. And even using the invoker class as your Mage... [sblock=Money Where My Mouth Is (Paladin Invoker)] Wil, level 6 Human, Paladin|Invoker Hybrid Paladin: Hybrid Paladin Reflex Covenant Manifestation: Manifestation of Wrath Hybrid Invoker: Hybrid Invoker Reflex Hybrid Talent: Paladin Armor Proficiency FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 19, Con 12, Dex 8, Int 13, Wis 16, Cha 10. STARTING ABILITY SCORES Str 16, Con 12, Dex 8, Int 12, Wis 16, Cha 10. AC: 25 Fort: 19 Reflex: 20 Will: 18 HP: 49 Surges: 9 Surge Value: 12 TRAINED SKILLS Endurance +9, Insight +13, Intimidate +8, Arcana +9, Athletics +12 UNTRAINED SKILLS Acrobatics +2, Bluff +3, Diplomacy +3, Dungeoneering +6, Heal +6, History +4, Nature +6, Perception +8, Religion +4, Stealth +2, Streetwise +3, Thievery +2 FEATS Human: Hybrid Talent Level 1: Mighty Challenge Level 2: Battle Awareness Level 4: Draw First Blood Level 6: Wary Fighter POWERS Bonus At-Will Power: Enfeebling Strike.(Rending strike). Hybrid at-will 1: Ardent Strike (passionate fury). Hybrid at-will 1: Divine Bolts (lightning by any other name smells of Ozone) Hybrid encounter 1: Thunder of Judgment (Dragon Roar sears there ears). Hybrid daily 1: Blazing Brand.(this causes the enemies heart to glow from inside there bodies) Hybrid utility 2: Kord's Strength (Veins, Sinew and blood). Hybrid encounter 3: Strength from Valor Hybrid daily 5: Blade of Vengeance Hybrid utility 6: Astral Step (call it Transdimensional Pull) [/sblock] The challenge is perhaps the only element that doesnt feel martially (or magic) ... and I had somebody point out that if your God was Avandra... radiant did not mean Astral Sea leaking through but rather your enemies luck falling to pieces in focused ways. I guess I did ignore the holy symbol... knew I was forgetting something ;-) OK Wil isnt religious but he is superstitious so periodically he finds a token from Avandra that he uses to focus with when he works his magics. He calls his DC ... his spell snare. [/QUOTE]
