Neverwinter Nights 2 Character Builder

I must admit this is most confusing: I don't seem to be able to get WP until level 15?

Thank you both for your comments. I know my AB's rubbish. TBH I have a problem trying to build paladin builds without a bad AB, so I thought I'd use the build to try to buff others around instead (paladins are quite strong characters, IMHO, their abilities are suited to secondary buffer or certainly this role, platoon commander or something).

I have yet to see a paladin build which does use fighter 12 with any decent AB.  I see investing in CHA more than STR is more important for the Paladin's glowing abilities such as Lay on Hands, saves etc.  Though I realise this means it isn't going to hit very much at all.  Similarly, it shouldn't die too quickly either, and in a big melee bust up with 5-10 melee fighters on each side, this might be able to give one side an advantage.

I get what you are trying for I think, but Thorsson is right... you need some way to actually connect with your target... My suggestion would be better divine magic, but you could maybe fit a decent feint in and keep the focus on Paladin...  It will still be less reliable than a dedicated feinter but it might work.  As for the saves, I wouldn't be comfortable with less than 45 and I would insist on having evasion.  You can get away with slightly lower saves if you have access to good items/buffs.

As to the bigby's spells (and other non-saves) you can't beat them so you are right to not worry about them... maybe put in some UMD for scroll use (your skills besides taunt are low enough to be disposable).

Super Saves still leave sit open to all the Bigbies, Shadow Sim, etc. and TBH they're not that super. High DC builds will be able to beat the Reflex & Will Saves a fair % of the time.

That AB is horrible. 20s will be needed to hit unless you're Smiting (and sometimes even then), and you aren't a specialist Great Smiter.

Try playing this on most PWs and you'd give up way before you reached that point anyway.
