What is the best Paladin build out there? It's been suggested to me that I build a PAL 26/FTR 4/CoT 10 and another player stated I have to get at least 30 Paladin. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm pretty new to NWN so if you can provide or send a link to a detailed build I would appreciate it. I want to do more of a melee mix than caster.

What does everyone think of the Divine Warrior build?

Thanks Here are two builds for you. I particularly like the first one as the Rogue levels get you sneak attacks and Improved Evasion, although of course the second build gets better stats, more feats, and better saving throws.

Both builds should be reasonably powerful in PvM, although perhaps not super Uber in PvP due to the low caster level. Still, they should be fun to play, and if you're into RP, you gotta love the Rogue/Paladin
