Although some of you might think this is a strange build, I think it's rather interesting. It's a dual-wielding, sneak-attacking, HiPS-abusing Paladin that has the ability to use his Holy Sword spell to remove ANY buff in the game.

I purposely created this build to take full advantage of the fact that Holy Avengers have no DC for their Dispel. Thus, this is a build that is intended to let players who prefer low-magic builds mess with the mages out there.

You'll notice I created two versions of this build; one Str-based and the other Dex-based, so you can choose whichever you prefer.

The really tricky thing about this build is all the on-hit effects. In addition to the normal attack damage + the sneak attacks, with Holy Sword you Dispel on hit, and with Crippling Strike you do Strength damage (-2 for every successful sneak). Thus, even if an opponent is too strong for you, you have the potential to wear them down over time (provided you can survive).
