Good stuff for paladins

    What would be the best stuff for paladins, I mean armor and weapons? I play with a paladin cavalier (no missile weapons)and am currently at level 9. Also what would be the best proficiencies to give him when you level up?

    Carsomyr, Dragon Helm, and Red Dragon Plate. I used these plus a couple other items on my Inquisitor and I had over 100% resitance to fire and cold. I had some girdle that gave me resistances to a few things to, one was magic damage. I forgot the name of it but you can buy it in trademeet after you finish the druid quest and the other main quest there.

    The dragon helm can be found in Firkraag's dungeon. Before entering the room with Garren's daugter & Tazok you have to cross a bridge near a fountain (the golem-fight #2). Click on the fountain and you'd find the helm in your inventory .... ;)

    You get that helm in Firkraag's maze after you defeat some air elemental or similar cloudy creature.

    Ragusa, you, you,... :mad::flaming:;)

    Just a quick point; if you're playing a Cavalier then you'll probably want the helm of defense rather than the Dragon Helm. This is because the dragon helm SETS the appopriate resistances to (I think) 20% wheras the helm of defense ADDS about 20%, thus enhancing the Cavalier's natural resistances rather than overriding them with something only slightly better. Also, I gave my Cavalier the Pride of the Legion full-plate (reward for busting up Firkragg) so as to free up the red dragon plate for someone else, giving my party more overall fire resistance rather than making one super resistant character (although I did swap it round so my cavalier actually got healed from walking across the letter board trap in the Umar Hills :D)

    [​IMG] I see your point Will.

    Besides helm of defence improves one's saving throw by 1.

    One of my fav helms of choice for my cavalier has usually been the helm of balduran, pleasing my saving throw mania ;) while giving +1 on THACO and -1 on AC.
    I also like the helm of glory (+1 on chr and -1 on AC).

    As for armor I usually preferred a standard full plate and a ring or cloak of protection (giving an AC- *&* st-bonus) over an enchanted field plate.

    Will, I just test it that dragon helm and helm of defence have the same effect on elemental resistances, not as your saying of overriding, the effect is accumulated.

    Another resistance problem with one of the items is that if you have equipped multiple Magic Resistance items (fx. Amulets of Magic Resistance) and Carsomyr. Every time you load the game Carsomyrs esistance overrides the others' so you just take it all off and equip Carsomyr first and then the others.
