Dawnbringer Class

I've put together a build that is sort of a paladin with an emphasis on offernsive, take it to the enemy powers (particularly the Fighting Style bonus powers). He has Lay on Hands and some healing spells but he gains benefits when fighting weapon plus shield or two-handed weapon.

Fun class. Very much in line with the sort of class I like to play.

3

Thanks! I hope you have fun with it.

4

I would drop spiritual weapon and replace it with Swift Sword. Otherwise, cool.

5

That's a great suggestion but I think I'll stick with Spiritual Weapon.

Dawnbringer Proficiencies: Alertness, Battle Magic, Blind Fighting, Combat Reflexes. Combat Trickery, Command, Diplomacy, Dungeon Bashing, Endurance, Fighting Style: Pole Arms, Healing,  Illusion Resistance, Laying on Hands, Profession (Judge), Prophecy, Riding, Righteous Turning, Running, Sensing Evil, Theology, Undead-slaying (same as Goblin-slaying), Unflappable Casting, Weapon Focus

 

I like these 23.  Any advice on other proficiencies to add to this list is appreciated.

Here's the latest.  I dropped two of the fighting styles as bonus powers and moved them into the Class Proficiencies list.  This let me take Apostasy twice, giving the class 8 more spells.  I gave each class level a name.  I'd appreciate any input on that; I'm not married to the level titles.
