race for blunt/board pally?

[deadly]

I have a dwarf pally whos 12 right now but i have a few questions on race.

i was thinking of going for a taller race like half-krol but the -logic stat does that really hinder anything for a pally or any other class as far as xp learning goes i heard it was so minimal like 1-3 xp per pulse.

does having a taller race help with things like bullrush/shield bash?

should I keep the dwarf or go half-krol?

and what starting stats would you use for the half krol if I should go with this race? i have no issues with starting over.

Yes, a big race gets bonuses while a small race gets penalties. Shield bash on a Dwarf will be awful, but feint is still very useful with blunt/board

I have a half-krol paladin, I think it's great, he's a polearm user with charge. It works very well. His logic was unfortunatly low to start, but I'm saving for a fixstat, and at cap he'd have the most ridiculous stats I've ever seen, 93 CON and 9 100's... think about that... /drool

With Blunt/Board you can sacrifice some AGIDEX and get extra Logic, here's what my paladin started at and where he's at now...


Strength (STR): 85
Constitution (CON): 70
Dexterity (DEX): 85
Agility (AGI): 80
Discipline (DIS): 55
Aura (AUR): 70
Logic (LOG): 55
Intuition (INT): 50
Wisdom (WIS): 90
Influence (INF): 20

Gender: Male Age: 0 Expr: 3859030 Level: 64
Normal (Bonus) ... Enhanced (Bonus)
Strength (STR): 100 (35) ... 100 (35)
Constitution (CON): 98 (34) ... 98 (34)
Dexterity (DEX): 100 (25) ... 100 (25)
Agility (AGI): 98 (29) ... 98 (29)
Discipline (DIS): 83 (16) ... 83 (16)
Aura (AUR): 82 (16) ... 82 (16)
Logic (LOG): 65 (-3) ... 65 (-3)
Intuition (INT): 69 (9) ... 69 (9)
Wisdom (WIS): 100 (20) ... 100 (20)
Influence (INF): 58 (-1) ... 58 (-1)

As you can see, some of the stats are quite low at 64, if you check out the stat maximizer, and tweak it a little, you can get to 93 CON / 100 in all the other stats at 100, but if you won't make it to cap, I'd suggest something more like what I started at (probably more Logic, less DEX/WIS)

Logic should always start high for a Paladin anyways, because it has shitty growth for us. But if you're not picking a race from a roleplay perspective, just be a Giantman.

think half-krol is better than a dwarf for a pally?

kinda want to know as much as possible before he gets too old. hes 11 right now almost 12

Every race has their perks.

The monkeys scoff at the cold. Fuckers.

Here is a tidbit of wisdom from a retired old street-racer: "There's no replacement for displacement". Go giantman.
