Dwarf or High Elf for a Paladin?

[Snaggles]

I went Eru and picked up a shield of the stalwart seas at creation. Even pumped Str and a little agility. I’m not optimized but whatever [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. With my gear (Ac/hp...EC buys) and without the STR I’d be constantly close to overweight.

Dwarves have better melee stats but their charisma sucks. Without about 120-150 CHA (easy with a few swaps or a buff) your lull pulls will not be reliable at all.

Doing it again I’d probably go HIE with STA as a raider or CHA as a casual soloer. The ND quest is ridiculously easy. Prob WIS if I expected to get NTOV gear readily.
