Go 5 agi and rest into STA imo though.

I don't know. I'd prefer not to be cynical about it, but I'm a little concerned for the prospects of hybrids. it was awfully hard for them to find group once the whole secret got out that the party carries their experience penalty burden.

Because people made a big deal about it. Just don't make a big deal about it and people will play as they did back in 199-2002......no one will care!

Call me a raving loonatic, will yah, but the fact that no-one is mentioning AAs even once has made me come to the impression that they don't yet exist in green, and are implemented in a later patch? I was under the impression that screwing up your stats allocation and AAs could completely "gimp" your character in terms of end game viability since neither of those can be reassigned later on. Your replies have given me comfort in that I won't be able to completely destroy my character with silly stat allocs, but what about them AAs? Aren't they kind of like permanent talent points?

AAs don't exist on any of the p99 servers and by all accounts never will.

Were they introduced in a later expansion that is outside the scope of P99's servers' progression lifespan? Or are they just generally considered such poison that they got left out as a service to humanity?

If you are in it for raiding, you won’t be much use as a paladin. Your heals aren’t strong enough or mana efficient to make a difference, and your dps will be negligible. Warriors tank raid mobs so you won’t be tanking either. As a previous commenter mentioned, paladins aren’t the powerhouse here they were in WoW.

I’d highly suggest Druid for your first char if that is your other option. They get around easily with run speed and ports. They can solo easily, and their heals and other buffs make them useful in both raids and groups.

Slow is just a buff to the tanks, dude!

CHA for a starting Dwarf Paladin could also be considered IMO.
You start like 20 points under the second-to-last race, and that stat determines whether a Pacify spells critical fails or not, which is often the difference between wipe or try again when the paladin exclaims proudly, "let me split that room guys!"

i'd go +10 CHA +5 STA +5 AGI personnally.
but as above posters said, you could go +20 INT and still be able to play so.. don't put too much thoughts into it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] the most important in EQ is always the same: lower your expectations, play more.

Number 1 stat in EQ is level.
Number 2 stat in EQ is gear.
Number 3 stat in EQ is skill.
Number 4 stat in EQ is actual stats.

The most important thing, already stated for a Dwarf Paladin is to add 5 points to agility to hit a very special 75 number. The rest isn't as important after that ;D

Also, Dwarf Paladins are extremely fashionable, and I may be joining you as one (but I may also make my first serious Ogre character, or a Human Ranger).
