How to Fit Lores/Training Advice

[Pneumothorax77]

Having some trouble training my pally. Every post I look at people are getting lots of lores and extra spells in and I just can't seem to find any points for Lores. I plan to fix skills to a setup that maxes 9/10 at cap, for now I just went balanced and for max training points at the start. Any tips or ideas how I can get some lores in? Thanks!

You're only level 12. Points for Paladins are quite tight until you gain more TP's through stat growth and reach some plateaus with certain skills.

If you really want lore's, some recommendations are:

Drop MOC to 5 ranks. You will not be able to focus a single target till minimum 30 ranks, which is 18 trains away as is.
Drop MIU.
Drop Survival.
Drop First Aid.

2x : Armor/Shield/OHE
1x : CM/PF/HP/Perception/Spells

Left over points should give you plenty to push into 1xLores + a few left over points.

But at the end of the day, lores are not really required until much later on.

I bet you could drop 101 and not miss it. That'll free up points.

I agree with Shaps.

Ok, cool thanks for the tips. Going to drop MOC down and straighten out the other items. I'm shooting for the 25 ranks of blessings lore for the DS/TD bonuses, I'd like to keep it 1x if possible.
