PHB2 Paladin variant
I'm about to build a paladin and wondered if i should try the variant in PHB2 (the one without the mount, but with some smite-charge bonus instead).
My problem is that i don't have access to the book right now and can't remember the exact rules. Can any of you help me?Water is composed of two gins. Oxygin which is pure gin, and Hydrogin which is water and gin.

Re: PHB2 Paladin variant
Gist of it: You get to charge and smite without losing the smite if you fail. You also get some bonus damage.

Re: PHB2 Paladin variant
You deal extra two points of damage per your paladin level when you charge smite, so if you charge smite, bonus damage you deal = yourPaladinLevel * 3. If you miss your smite attempt isn't considered used.
This feature replaces special mount so you can take it at level 5.Last edited by bigbaddragon; 2007-07-23 at 09:56 AM.

Re: PHB2 Paladin variant
Thanks
Think i'll use this variant and make him a leap attacking orc paladin of freedom (maybe with a single barbarian level)

Re: PHB2 Paladin variant
Why orc paragon levels? It doesn't seem that good...
We're only lvl 6, by the way. And it's a one-shot adventure not a campaign.
The DM told us that the party had to include at least one paladin.Last edited by AwfulLawful; 2007-07-23 at 10:36 AM.

Re: PHB2 Paladin variant
I thought the variant of paladin of freedom didn't have this alignment restriction?

Re: PHB2 Paladin variant
Orc paragon doesn't give you rage, not in my book anyway.. Paladin of freedom is chaotic good and should work fine with a single barbarian level

Re: PHB2 Paladin variant
FYI, the Special Mount is potentially the Paladin's most powerful class feature. With Leadership or Dragon Cohort, you can get a mount more powerful then you are. The PHBII variant is ok, but nothing phenomenal.

Re: PHB2 Paladin variant
It's not RAW (rules as written), but this is my favorite paladin variant:

It fixes most everything that was handled poorly with the paladin base class, while at the same time keeping it fairly well balanced against other classes of the same level.

Re: PHB2 Paladin variant
Perhaps Ikkitosen meant the Half-Orc paragon, which does indeed give rage.
