[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 483271, member: 545"] I am always here to help a paladin. You guys are just so [i]likable[/i]... Here is a nice little smackdown: 3rd: Power Attack 6th: Divine Might 9th: Improved Critical 12th Power Critical You will do immense damage with a once per day autocritical against evil with Blessed Weapon + Divine Might + Power Attack + Smite Evil. This works best on a weapon with a 3x or better crit multiplier, so Glaive ain't the best choice. But you are not committed to this route until many levels from now. Another progression is: 3rd: Power Attack 6th: Cleave 9th: Divine Might Divine Might is a borderline ability with an 18 Cha because it eats an action when you could be doing something useful. I would never take it with a 16 Cha. By 9th level you will have had opportunity to boost your Cha to 20 or 22, at which point it starts to look real good. Cleave has good synergy with Combat Reflexes and reach, BTW (although it is a cheesy combo in my book). Cleave with Divine Might is very good, too. Power Attack is a good choice for you with your good strength because you are hitting so easily. Also confirming crits is not a problem is using Blessed Weapon. [/QUOTE]
