The Abjurant Paladin (Sorcerer 26 / Paladin 10 / RDD 4)

[Orion]

Commentary:

This is an idea for a divine damage spell-sword with BAB 26+ (four attacks / round) using Sorcerer, +5 to 11 AC with divine Shield, +5 to 11 divine damage with Divine Might.

Wizard is much easier to make. Abjurant Champion by Valerfor is a wizard build I studied to make this. Here I’ve made a kind of Sorcerer Version of it.

Sorcerer can access RDD while Wizard can’t, so I thought it would be strongest to use RDD 4 to boost Str by +4 and AC by +1 to keep up. Will be helpful early on as the character is more a combatant than a caster pre-epic.

Not many builds use RDD 4, I could only find 7 in the ECB archives.

I put Int to 12 and put Cha to 16, and get Cha 20 and paid for it by shaving some skill points away. Not sure what is better honestly.
