Going to throw my two cents in here on Pally weapons - go for the greatsword! The Holy Avenger in SOU is underpowered and you won't be using it for the long haul. With a two handed weapon, you get the extra damage per hit to go along with your smiting multiplier that you can jack up greatly with Great Smite (big help against certain foes in HOTU). Plus, the thought of a Paladin cowering behind his shield doesn't seem right to me. Make evil fear your wrath.

**Of course, if you're playing EFU and not the single player version, I recant this and will say you have to use a shield.
