OK, my paladin has gotten to Level 4 and I get a stat upgrade. What should it be? My stats: STR 14, DEX 13. CON 14, WIS 11, INT 10, CHA 15. My gut is to go with STR, what do you think?

It really depends if you are going to multi class him or not, if you leave him like that, i'd say constitution, because later on, you'll find a belt that increase your strength by 4, there's also a bracer that increase your dex by 5 and constitution is pretty important for fighters.

i say inteligence. get it to 12, and upon level ups, you get more skill points. always handy, especially if you like to parry, or set traps, or something like that.

I am definitely not going to multiclass him. He is gonna be a Pally all the way. Hmm CON, more HP, INT, more skills. He's not gonna set any traps, and why parry? I haven't even used that skill yet, mostly pounding on the bad guys to protect Sharwyn. For some reason, they always go after her, even if I was the one who attacked them in the first place.

I'd say wisdom, as you'll need 10 + (spell level) to be able to cast the higher level spells. don't go past 14 though, as paladins only get 4th level spells

I'd go strength or con. You get another at 8th level and I'd do the one I didnt raise then. Oh and I dont parry either, just whack'em

I go for strength and parry because later in the game you'll be swarm by hords of monsters. so strength make you do lotsa damage and parry helps you defending.
ps, parry seems to work best with sword like weapon. |

Don't waste points in intelligence just for extra skill points. You can drink potions of Fox Cunning right before you level up, then you can get a few extra points. Note that you can drink several potions and the effects stack.
I would go wisdom for the spell casting. If you're wearing heavy armor, there's no point in pumping dexterity very high. Strength and constitution are good choices as well. |

Drinking potions of fox cunning or other artificial int boosters have no effect on the number of skillpoints you receive at level up: The game only checks your natural int bonus. Believe me, I've tried. [img]smile.gif[/img]
