Alright, I'm finalizing my character, a human 2-handed weapon Paladin with a 20 point buy. I've got it mostly figured out but am caught up on which stat block to give her.

Stat Block A

STR- 16
DEX- 12
CON- 14
INT- 10
WIS- 8
CHA- 16

or

Stat Block B

STR- 16
DEX- 10
CON- 14
INT- 10
WIS- 10
CHA- 16

(No, I'm not dumping INT. I have my reasons, both RP and mechanical.)

Anyways, there they are. What say you, oh hive mind?


Hey all. Tis me, he who asked about dodge on a paladin (I've settled on "no" for that one). I have another question: Is Weapon Focus (greatsword in this case) worth taking? Here's my initial stat block at level 1 (20 pt build).

STR- 16 (14+2 human)
DEX- 10
CON- 15
INT- 10
WIS- 8
CHA- 16

Feats- Fey Foundling, Power Attack

Base Attack- 4 (+1 class, +3 STR)

Yes, I know that this isn't min/max'ed. Yes, I know I could pick up another 2 attribute points using the Dual Talent alternate race feature. I may in the end go that way, but am leaning heavily against it at this point because I want three skills built up over the course of the build (initimidate, knowledge (religion), use magic device).

Alright, given all of that, should I consider taking weapon focus at some point, and if so, should I do it at level one in place of Power Attack? I'm not really sold on Weapon Focus, but then again, +1 never hurts to have.

Some feats I'm looking at down the road (some I'm more solid about than others:

Furious Focus
Extra Lay On Hands
Greater Mercy
Cornugon Smash (I'm making an intimidate build)
Intimidating Prowess (see above)
Cleave
Great Cleave
Toughness
Dazzling Display
Shatter Defenses
-Step Up Chain
-Improved Crit chain


Hey all, a question: I'm building a greatsword weilding human paladin. 20point build. Is it worth it for me to put 13 into Dex and take dodge as a feat in order to boost my AC a bit? If I did so, I may or may not do it the first level, but it'd be done by 3rd. I should note that I may end up being the sole "heavy" in my group as the other players are all looking at rouges and rangers and wizards and such.
