Spell Resistance: 16(plus the innate spell resistance of 25 I think)

Several stuff are increased, damage, charisma and so on. Plus you get immunity to several thing... you will see when you try this build out.

Leveling up Notes:
For all class, on every level up, you should get max of 13 HP.

Charisma Increments: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 40
Strength Increments: 36

Skill Notes
Maximize Taunt skill on 9th Paladin level, which should be 42 + the Charisma modifier.
Maximize Concentration skill on 9th Paladin level, which should be 42 + Constitution modifier. This is only as bonus skill, normally you wouldn't have enough skill points to put some points in this.

Again... all skill points that are put into the final level are bonus, ie; maximized lore, spot and tumble.

Author's Notes:

With this character.... you can get 1800+ damage per smite evil. Also, the smites are not modified in any form, ie any ability boosted when testing for non-buffed smite.

What do you think?

A little bit of a one trick pony, but because almost every boss in NWN is Evil, it works quite well.

How well does it work through the level up progression? Obviously it won't ever have much trouble with evil bosses, but there is a point where its clearly weak?

I haven't tested that... I believe it is weak up to 15th level... but I am not sure.

Illithid Paladin? Smells fishy (or squidy?).

Heheh. Just wanted to let everyone to know... this build has been throughly tested and it works effectively against all evil characters, including the major bosses.

-I think, Therefore I am. An idea of a player-run illithid, especially a paladin (when compared to this character, Drizzt is Mr. Ordinary) gives me creeps - ridiculously powerful subraces are of the reasons I will rather never use PRC.

But this build is still very nice.

The reason the subraces are powerful is due to not being balanced. They will not be balanced, but it is possible to balance them. As what Stratovarious said, it is up to the worlds to modify the way the character level up.

You can use the PRC without the subraces.

Well, I agree some races/classes make little sense together from an RP perspective (anything goes from a munchkin perspective).

And I am not overly fond of races that are so far out of whack with the rest of them, ability-wise.

But still. . . this is really a minor aspect of the PRC. Just ignore that aspect if you dont like it.
