I guess it's Harper week, as I've another one with HS levels. This particular combination is another that didn't turn up using Pulse Cap's search engine. It shuld be quite playable, especially once he hits the late 20s.

This build should be playable right through from level 1. However, it really starts to come into its own in mid epic levels (late 20s) when he gets his 4th level spells as well as some of the Harper benefits. The Cat's Grace spell will boost his DEX for an extra +1 to AC, and the Eagle's Splendor spell will nicely stack with the Pally's spells or an Eagle's potion to get the CHA into the mid 20s for a decent bonus to his abilities and saves. On a low magic world, this guy will be pretty solid and should do acceptably in higher magic environments as well.

One note: due to the stat set-up and the levelling scheme, he won't get his level 3 spells until character level 21, even though he would normally get them at level 19 in this build. But, since I don't feel the level 3 spells are absolutely vital, I figured he could survive for 2 levels without them.

A Paladin!!??? And with a 38 Fortitude and a 41 Spot!!!What kind of crap is that? That's practically cheating. How are my Assassins supposed to do a Death Attack on that? For shame, Cinnabar, for shame!! Always finding ways to exploit the sytem and generate characters that should not be!

Griphook, I motion to have this character completely removed from the forum, as it is objectionable and loathsome, and goes against the spirit of Assassins, Blackguards and Neverwinter Nights.

Nice build, Cinn, I am pretty sure this guy will do quite well in PvP to, vs baddie's and stealthers at least.
