But with a fair degree of melee involved.

I'd like something with 26 levels of Sorc and combined with Epic Spell Penetration feat(s), I think I can deal with most critters in my PW.

I thought of something like Pally 4/Fighter 10/Sorc 26. The Paladin for the saves and the immunity from fear. The Fighter for the feats and Epic Weapon Specialization and of course, the Sorc class.

I was just wondering if it was better to take more Pally levels or more Fighter ones in a build such as this? Have been toying with the idea of taking more Paladin levels to have more buffing-type spells and some more Pally-type abilities.

Even thought of doing like a Pally 15/Sorc 25 build so I can have Holy Sword.

Any thoughts/suggestions? Thank ye in advance..

Joe Have you thought maybe of sorc26/pally4/rdd10?
RDD +8 str helps a lot and lets you focus a bit more on cha; 4 lvls pally should let you get divine shield/might. Sorc26 with epic spell penetration is about right.. max toolset sr is 32 iirc; and if its pvp you have mords to help a bit. You can also cast holy sword from a scroll if you can get those. Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, I thought of RDD. Did it with my Bard (and most likely will do it again with another Bard build of mine).

I thought while it would be nice to have the added STR of the RDD (and the added CHA as well), Fighter would grant me better AB/the Epic Weapon Specialization (which is almost like adding 12 STR)/and added feats.

Just something I was kicking around and wondered what you all thought about it. Definitely will take some Pally levels for Divine Might/Shield though...seems like good feats to take on me PW.
