Paladin/WM/Bard

[Miskol]

I'm a bit lazy to try and crunch the numbers, but how viable would be this combination of classes?

[gilescorey]

Not very. CHA-based characters who treat Wisdom as a total dump stat (a la the typical Bardadin) are spread thin, but it's doable. It works.

Somehow slamming your Dexterity up from 8 to 13 would have fairly dire consequences in either your HP, your AB, skills & expertise'ing or your ability to use divine might/shield.

Either way, what you give up isn't worth 5 WM levels... or, god forbid, more than 5.

Not very. You won't have the feats to simultaneously qualify for WM, pick up divine might and shield, and get necessary critical hit / melee feats.

Would you be better off with CoT instead of WM?

[Peppermint]

Infinitely.

Though I'd go Rogue instead of Bard in that case.

As a Paladin/CoT, you won't be struggling in the saving throw department.

A la ork's 17 paladin / 10 CoT / 3 rogue

I seriously suggest trying this. I've just started one and it's hella fun already.
