Ive been away from CF for about 3 months, but hey, we all come back dont we? I've decided I'll likely play an elven paladin and I have a couple questions concerning them. First off I heard from a friend that some changes were made to make elf pallys more viable, but after a thorough forum search I wasnt able to find any info on what changes there were. What are elves especially good ( or marginally bettar ) at now? Second, I rather enjoyed a two-handed paladin I played once, but it was human, and able to hold about any two-handed mace or sword. Is the low strength of elves a hige deterring factor? Or would a two-hand spec elf work well enough at least to get by? Finally, are there any general pointers for playing as an elf paladin? Besides the obvious, fire giants with axes are a bad thing

Thanks for any help you can give.

I believe the changes you are refering to go like this (don't sue me if I get these wrong)...

A number of the two handed ded skills are now more based on dex.

A number of the shield ded skills are now more based on dex.

The wrath sup is now somewhat based on wisdom.

I am not sure if this wisdom change also now affects healing sups. I didn't pay all that much attention to those announcements.

Try it.

There have been atleast two prominent elf paladins recently, one is now a heroimm, the other is leading a cabal. I think we can assume that it's a viable option, though how well it works for you is... up to you. Besides, there is more to a succesful character than how strong they are in pks. If you have a good role idea for an elven paladin, you should be able to make it succesful despite any weaknesses.

Ofcourse, no matter what you do it wont be half as good as a dwarf paladin! Fargin' elves...
