Unlike Mish, I certainly do not think divine tanks are outdated. On a recent nessus this pally ended 2nd in damage output, after damage mage. Not to mention other nice features that pallies are capable of: lay on hands, holy sword, divine inspiration, lionheart etc.

Hows the AB, saves and AC at level 60? (Pre-Demi) and order of the lvls taken?

[MightyKhan]

my guess for the level progression:
pre-epic: all paladin
epic, before HS: at least one rogue for cheap ranks in the search skill
level 40: rogue

the rest doesn't matter much

AB: 97ish?
AC: 117ish?

saves: F75, R68, W70

He started with rogue at level 1 for the skills, I know this because that is the only way to start with 10 base Wis on this build.

[Vichya]

Yes, he probably took 1 or 2 rogue levels pre-epic and the last one at level 40. The first level has to be rogue to start with anything less than 11 wisdom.

You could even lower wisdom to 8 if you're reincarnating a double demi and increase strength to 14. This still gives you 16 wisdom so you can cast extended level 4 spells.

Started making this toon and I think the starting stats are off. 18 charisma after subrace mod, leaves you needing 7 points to get 25 charisma (pre-req for Great Smite feats). That means you won't get enough charisma until level 28 and means you can't take all 10 Great Smite feats in epic levels.

Will retest and see if taking harper scout at 20 and getting the 2 great charisma as bonus feats makes it work, but has anyone else tried this build?

*EDIT - took Harper Scout pre-epic and epic (19 - 23) and was able to make it work.
