The Holy Wall (9 Paladin/ 13 Weapon Master/ 18 Dwarven Defender)

playable 1 - 40 PvM only

I first looked for this kind of build with pulse cap's search engine, and couldn't find one. Now I know why.

It's a very feat starved build. I can imagine (and tried out) a number of different level combinations, and this one looked the best.

I tried this as an experiment, to see if this combination of classes would work. Well, they do, kinda. Not as good as I hoped for though, but not bad either.

I worked it up in the beginner to epic character leveler, I just haven't had the chance to start playing it yet, as I just thought of it tonight. So I'm not sure exactly how hard it will be to level him. But I'll find out soon.
The character I started is now 17th level, and I have had no problems with him. He handles each situation well. So far I'm having alot of fun with him.

So, as it stands now, I would say that he is a good character, with excellent RP benefits, and good combat skills. As long as he is played smart (as with any character I guess), he should have no problem reaching 40th level.

I know I could have changed some stats around, used different feats, etc. But my idea was for this character to be able to do a little of everything of each of the classes, but still be able to fight decently, and defend well.

So he can cast some spells, smite some bad guys, heal a bit, turn undead a few times, etc. More of a party fighter than a loner.

He was meant more for an RP world than a Hack-n-Slash world, but overall, I think he could survive pretty well in both.

As usual, any comments or suggestions are appreciated. A different level combo, or feat choice to improve this character would be good, but the classes are written in stone.
