I have had it in mind for a while now to try and come up with a Paladin Template that "balances" (a) Looks (Yay! Orange Cloak!), (b) Raising stats, skills and resists, and (c) Providing instant access to a range of useful abilities, powers, procs etc.
With this in mind, the template below was chosen with consideration for useful item abilities (e.g. speed from Enyalios Boots, self buffs for STR/CON and DEX/QUI for situations when isolated from cleric/buffbot, various useful damage and enhancement combat procs, melee health buffer from Shawl, etc.), so a few stats/resists have been sacrificed for balanced abilities in a set of equipment worn almost continually (I hate incessantly swapping items, and find it next to impossible to do so in time to react to situations - particularly in the Frontier). I have also tried not to include any items that are unrealistic aspirations, e.g. a full set of Astral items
Any suggestions, feedback or evil snickering will all be appreciated
