Interesting. I wonder how this build compares with Lady Emelinne's? She used Radiance Genasi for more CHA earlier, of course, but Rad Genasi also gets -2 STR, so it might even out a bit. Looks very similar to my recent Paladin build... except more bonus feats, no RDD, inclusion of Evasion, etc.

I think you may have overestimated the saves, though - my Paladin has slightly higher CHA and is mid-60s on all saves. I think Fort might be 70ish... oh, but I didn't take any Reflex feats, so mine's a bit lower. They only seem a little high, and of course I'm getting by with my saves just fine, and I'm all the way through Malbolge right now. The main difference in our two builds seems to be smite damage and Evasion, both of which your build does better. Mine does of course get fire immunity and class-skill Tumble, plus draconic AC and ability bonuses, but lack of Evasion can hurt.

I'm considering rebuilding mine using Undying. That's extra HP and save feats, but at the cost of two pre-epic feats - one for no Human, one for *maybe* taking Extra Smiting for the 40-second drop in smite recharge. Not sure if the tradeoff is worth it, but it sounds nice in my head.

And... I'm babbling. Time to go eat dinner. (I tend to think out loud!)

This looks like a playable build, I wonder about the choice of Ranger, was it just for the one extra epic feat? What else is ranger doing for you? Did you consider bard? The heal points can be nice but since Pally does not really have any healing capacity spell wise I wonder if those points might be better put into UMD with a bard lvl, or put into Parry somehow. Saves look about right to me, perhaps a little inflated. I am curious how you got the AB up to 90+ I am not sure that is 100% accurate but I am not a math master by any stretch.

So its totally different then? Lol, I just saw this and found it comical.

Just to remind you, that was ab with full +20 from magical sources

Well heres my ab calculations for the Divine Hero at lvl 60
30 bab
25 Str bonus
4 pre-legendary feats
15 Legendary attack bonus
3 Legendary Wepon Bonus
--------------------------------------
77 attack bonus with a normal Scitmar
+20 Magical
-------------------------------------
97 Total attack bonus

Probably wont have the full +20 that often, but I can cast +12 GMW, bless, aid, prayer, and divine favor, those should get it up near 20.

And Im almost sure the saves are calculated correctly.


Reason for Ranger is for one extra feat, nothing else. Which is what allowed me to take that second great Charisma at lvl 39 to even out my charisma.

I had considered Taking rogue for UMD, but i was not sure of how usefull it would to have that skill.
