So I've recently returned to Pillars of Eternity, haven't beaten it since a few months after it came out. Beat it on Normal and Hard back then. So there have been a lot of changes, and i need some guidance for a possible PTOD/Expert mode playthrough. I do have experience with Tyranny on PTOD, just throwing that out there. So i will be able to handle it, i hope. I do have some criteria - First of all it needs to be a Paladin, they are my favourite class no matter the RPG. The Build has to represent good oppurtunities for RP. I don't have any problems with playing a mean guy or anything like that. No Min-maxing. I don't like gimping stats, wanna keep the once i don't use at a flat 10. Preferably playing a Dwarf since they gots the beard and short legs, can consider anyone that has beard options. So the build i have been inspecting the most for Inspiration is http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/85885-class-build-bleak-walker-melee-dw-paladin-monster/ Currently i am running something similar to it on Hard with a Dwarf Paladin that is a Goldpact Knight. Going for the Stoic and Rational Mercenary type, and i like it. Only up to act II thus far, but already got some decent sabers. I've modified the stats a bit and i am running 20 Might, 14 Int and 14 Resolve if i remember correctly. I like the resolve conversation options. What i want to know is how huge is the dmg difference between the Goldpact and Bleak Walker with a build like this, and are any of them viable with a two hander? I much prefer the Greatsword/estoc approach on a paladin, back to the good old Carsomyr days in BGII. Is it viable in PTOD? So any input, ideas etc would be nice. Open to trying other things aswell. I just want a paladin that can do some decent damage while maintaining a frontline presence in the team. Also in regards to the PTOD, i will be using the story companions.
