Question about Divine Shield

Post by Comatose » Fri Dec 01, 2017 9:03 am

So I was thinking about adding paladin to one of my characters... But I am a little unsure of how taking Divine Shield as a feat works. I need to have turn undead as a pre req as far as I know, which is obtained at paladin level 3. Am I able to take Divine Shield on my 3rd level of paladin? Or would I have to wait to take divine shield the next level after, paladin level 4?

You need power attack, too.

You can take the feat on 3rd paladin level.

And FYI, in general, when you level up and need to choose a feat, all the free feats you got from your class at that level (turn undead) are already in your feat list at that point.

You also probably want divine might. Same rules apply.
Some builds I've worked on (not recommended):
Charisma Battlecleric
"E-Dodge Brycer"
