New paladin.

[Natso]

Hey guys. I've recently started playing again and decided to roll up a Paladin again. I haven't played in forever and really I don't have a clue what i'm doing anymore. Here's what i've got so far. Any input is appreciated. I plan on going Two-handed weapons later on as my first Paladin was like this and I enjoyed the challenge.

I can get into details with you later if you'd like some help, but I'm busy most of today.

Til then, this thread has a lot of helpful pointers in it:

drop the dodge ranks. you won't need it for sword/board. not that it doesn't hurt to have insane defense, but the points can be more effectively put into other areas like like tripling in armor, lores, more cman, climbing/swimming, etc.

Yeah. Drop dodge and use a tower shield. Only 1/3rd of your dodge ranks count in that case anyway.

I'm 26 now and have had zero issues with no dodge so far. Freeing up those ranks allowed me to 1x survival and first aid for skinning bounties, as well as .5x perception for foraging. No trouble on any task of yet. Those points could just as easily be put into extra lores, extra spells, or extra early armor training though.
