Stat's for a paladin

[Raulin]

What would be the best placement of stats for a paladin. I'm finding that I can't really even 1x spells with the default setting.

[ElanthianSiren]

Well, that depends...

1) what level optimization are you placing for?
2) what race are you placing.
3) which way do you prefer your paladin lean? ie: do you want more mental TPs or physical TPs.

edited to add: The most a paladin can train in my opinion is 1x spells and still keep core skills. Again, that's my opinion. It really depends what you are trying to do.

Like your paladin is never going to be a hiding/ambushing/spell casting rogue-type with tons of lore, harness, and CMAN training.

I don't 1x spells. My paladin is 5 spells behind 1x.

If you don't try to be close to 1X, then don't be a paladin, be a warrior with spells

That was my thoughts. I should be 1X per level.

Mine at 15 trains...

Obviously I am shooting for heavy physical skills, while being able to tap into the magic side of things.

Thus far, I love the set-up. Though I do find myself missing my main, so he has been ditched, I do come in occasionally, and play one of my lil` chars.

At current train he swings 261... without madness, blue crystal, bravery, and heroism.

He calculated that he would need 46/46 TPs to do what he wanted at start, so that is the start we began with.

Paladin's were intended for .75x spell training...

I'd like to see a warrior with paladin spell circle as well...

COL master.

You are holding a dark glaes falchion in your right hand and a hammered dwarven wall shield in your left hand.
You are wearing a well-forged dwarven war helm, a crystal amulet, some tiny axe shaped beard clips, a dwarven mining backpack, a dwarven tailored mining greatcloak, a dwarven tackle harness, some reinforced golden imflass hauberk, a stout dwarven belt, a waern-skin forging hammer case, an onyx-studded shadowy black hip-satchel, a black dwarven-crafted kilt and some dwarven infantry boots.

The hauberk is 12 pounds and +32 so he's in that until he's fully trained (150 armor ranks for paladin spell circle) for plate.
