Take Weapon Focus at 5, Shatter Defenses at 9 and Wings at 11. Turn off Spellstrike if you are not Spellstriking to get 1.5 Strength (STR) scaling. Crane Wing and Riposte work with whatever on the current patch. Whatever you like. Will targeting spells are not the most important. EDIT: Confirmed that Crane Wing still works with 2h weapon. So your tactic is hit 'em till you crit and then nuke with whatever. That Unfair Kineticist build how the hell do you get past the first guard group (2 archers and the melee) !? Maybe higher if you want to dump stats but your cha should be good, but not better than your strength. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations.

While deadly opponents of evil, they can also empower goodly souls to aid in their crusades. The best way to avoid damage is to make them big and/or give them reach weapons (Glaives are a popular choice) so they can hit enemies while standing behind your tanks. Would love someone casting Legendary Proportions on him. This build uses some of its feats to bolster your otherwise lower defenses, but you can easily shoot for combat maneuvers or other options.

Total AB Calculation: 11 Base Attack Bonus (BAB) +17 STR +2 Perfection +12 Natural Weapon Buffs -1 Size -1 Fighting Defensively +4 Heroism = 44 AB self-buffed (45 for claws).

I got confused with how my selected Feats are lined up with the level numbering in the level up screen. Doesn't Dazzle for himself, although does have enough for single-target Intimidation should you need it, and Dreadful Carnage once you get the ball rolling.

Has to rely on another alchemist or wands for shield before 14-15. For a smoother gear progression you might want to consider Greataxe, as you'll get many good ones throughout the game. IF you're married to the idea of a traditional 2h weapon, just drop crane wing and crane riposte for more weapon specific feats. The rest broadly falls into Barbarian hunter who assumed responsibility and some such. Borrow Tartuccios Crossbow for a bit. Early game, use staff or flaming nunchucks, AC items, 2x Arcane Protector in Act 2 - one at the Bandit Camp at the bridge, and the other on Bartho. Turn off Spellstrike when you don't use touch spells (which is going to be pretty much always past midgame) to get 1.5 damage mod. Dudes gotta die.

Also some free True Strikes are not wasted on us. Generally it means we just get a lot better at actually killing things. Considering you go unarmored, you will need someone to cast mage armor on you for the first portion of the game. Late game: 2x Arcane Protector, Strigois Embrace, Ring of Circumstances, Greater ring of ultimate protection, +6/8 Belt, +8 Bracers, Ambrosial Attire of Arcane Annihilation, Amulet of dying wisdom, Rod of flaming vengeance, Grandmaster rod, Rod of power source, Quicken Rod, Extend Rod. +5. The build gets. Best armor you can find. Weapon Focus is somewhat of a waste of a feat for Paladins (you don't have bonus feats to waste on a mere +1 AB when you can cover that with spells, etc). Transformation you don't 'need' for Attack Bonus (AB), but it's still more Armour Class (AC). Will step on Reggie's toes, so there's that.

Does good damage. Lore(nature) is okay as well. Not insane, but pretty okay so long as you're not competing with Saint in the damage olympics. Privacy Policy. Very abusive build. x1.5 STR as damage bonus. If you go this route, it's better to not take levels in non-Paladin things. Technically Frightful will do it for free once you get to level 8 spells. Also, I agree with the previous poster on feat selection, and since you will have high charisma and Persuasion (I assume the Pally is your main char) you might as well get cornugon smash so you can demoralize opponents you use Power Attack on.

Has Decent Dazzling and Shatter Defenses, 50 buffed Attack Bonus (AB) in top gear, as well as Arcane accuracy should you need it. YMMV though.

AB from CHA through Arcane Accuracy, Damage with Arcane Weapon additional properties. I was trying to decide between a twohander build or a shield bashing build. Good Mercys to take: Fatigued, Exhausted, Blinded, Paralyzed. You can also trip things manually. Will need +Wisdom (WIS) item to cast Inquisitor spells. Delay Poison Communal from a friendly Cleric or Alchemist will go a long way. Doesn't matter much which Infusion we take here. Good AB from different sources.

Alternatively, you can go for Fauchards. There are potions for it (and you start with monk to get some at the start). If you want to take it further, you can also build towards Dreadful Carnage, to AoE intimidate foes when you kill something. Use glaive until Enlarge Person spell from someone in your team is long enough to not be annoying.
