Hi there!
Our Pathfinder group is pretty new, and we are just at the progression to level 2.
Im playing a Dwarf Fighter as a Tank and im planning to go Stalwart Defender as soon as i get BAB +7.
Now im not sure if i should just go
Fighter (7) -> Stalwart Defender
or
Fighter (1) -> Paladin (1) -> Fighter (6) -> Stalwart Defender
As far as i see, i would give up +0/+1 BAB, Armor Training 2 and one favoured class bonus on the long run, but get some nice saves by the paladin lvl 1 and some powers (which i would barely use due to my 8 cha).
Does it really work that way? In my opinion those extra saves are far better than that little armor training i would get at fighter lvl 7.
Btw, this is NOT about how optimized this build will be. Just asking if it works this way, or if i did not understand the multiclassing rules right.
Greetins,
Nandrith
