You could easily just leave this at 8 and then use magic items to bolster your dexterity score.
#BEST PALADINS SETTINGS FOR MAC FULL#
Never go below 10 constitution, ever.ĭexterity is only really important for bonus AC, but if you're using full plate (and you will be using full plate once you can afford it) then the benefits cap out at 12. Preferably put a 14 here, but don't sweat it if you need to go down to 12. However, you will need to begin your career as a different class then multiclass into Paladin to do this, as during character creation the game enforces a minimum of 11 wisdom for Paladins.Ĭonstitution is important for everyone, but as a Paladin you're stretched for ability points and already have a naturally high HP total so you can skimp a little here to make room elsewhere. If you do this, beginning with 8 wisdom can save you a lot of points and really free up your build elsewhere. It's entirely viable to decide that you just don't need that spellcasting ability and dump wisdom. Multi-class Paladins, however, face an interesting decision. This gives you access to all your Paladin spells without wasting additional points. For a single-class Paladin, you want exactly 14 wisdom. Your spellcasting as a Paladin is based on wisdom. I'd say somewhere between 14-16 is the right place. I'd say 16 is the sweet spot high enough to give a good bonus, but not so high that the cost is prohibitive.Ĭharisma is your second priority for the Paladin, since it fuels many of your class features. By default a Paladin needs strength, charisma, wisdom, and constitution that's a lot of attributes and leaves him spread thin compared to other classes.Īs a melee character, strength is your top priority. as well as feats (Like Disarm) and skills (like weaponcrafting) Attribute spread is definitely the hardest part about building a Paladin. Elmofongo: Now since this game is running on D&D 3rd edition rules I feel its a much more easier time to give me recommended numbers for: STR, DEX, CON, INT,WIS,CHA.
