Class:Paladin

From DDO Compendium

Official Game Entry

Paladins are supremely resilient and have a good balance of offense and defense. They protect and support allies better than the other melee classes, provide some healing, and wield the power of good as a mighty weapon.

Solo Ability: Very Good.

Important stats:

Strength and Charisma are the most important stats for paladins. Strength affects melee attack chance and damage, and high charisma makes many of a paladin's special abilities more powerful.

A moderate level of wisdom is also needed for a paladin to cast spells.

Notable abilities: Smite Evil, Lay on Hands.

Through their devotion and purity, paladins gain many special abilities. They can deal extra damage to evil creatures, can boost their own saves, and can use Lay on Hands to send powerful healing energy to allies.

At level 4, paladins get their first helpful spells which they can use to aid themselves or their party.

Paladins also get immunities to harmful effects like disease and fear, and radiate powerful protective auras that help defend all nearby allies.

Concentration Allows you a chance to continue casting a spell when you would normally be interrupted by taking damage. For characters with ki, concentration allows you to retain more base ki and slows the rate at which your ki dissipates.\n\nDetails: To maintain concentration when you take damage, you roll 1d20 and add your concentration skill. The result must equal or exceed 10 + the level of spell you are trying to cast + the incoming damage amount.
Diplomacy Allows you to negotiate more effectively with certain NPCs and to encourage monsters to find targets other than yourself. Any accumulated threat you have with enemies that you successfully diplomacize is reduced.
Heal Allows you to use a healing kit to revive unconscious and bleeding companions to 1 hit point. Also grants additional hit points for yourself and your companions when resting in a dungeon. Doesn't affect warforged characters.\n\nDetails: To boost allies' healing from resting, the character with the heal skill must be close to the resting characters (within a few meters). The amount of extra healing granted after a rest is equal to your heal skill + character level + 10.
Intimidate Allows you to intimidate certain NPCs or taunt and draw the attention of monsters away from other members of your party. You get a bonus when taunting creatures smaller than you and a penalty when taunting creatures that are larger than you. You also gain a bonus to threat generation for a short period of time after successfully using this ability. If you are using a weapon and a shield, this bonus to threat generation is increased.\n\nDetails: The bonus/penalty you gain is 4 for each size category difference between you and your target. For example: You would get a -8 penalty when trying to use intimidate on a fire giant because he is two size categories bigger than you.
