What's an Unfair build for Seelah?

[Phil85]

I'm playing on unfair. I recently swapped out Seelah. I was using ;her as a paladin and she is lvl 14. She's not bad, but just seems kinda meh. I was using her as a tank that can dazzle enemies. I also tried her with a one lvl dip for to convert her CHA to AC. She is using a shield and a mount. I could give her a tower shield I suppose? Any better ideas?

I can't say if it would be a good idea on unfair or not, but I gave seelah thundering blows and destructive shockwave. So while she does miss a lot with defensive stance, she still does a good 20-30 damage if she smited the enemy when she misses.

I kept her until the end as paladin on my Unfair run. Then again she didn't contribute much besides Bestow Grace on my main character and occasional Mark of Justice, which a mercenary paladin would have done better. Anyways, she did a good enough job for my party so I didn't feel the need to replace her.

Might've used something different if my party wasn't built around a typical charisma stacking angel oracle.

Gave her a fauchard, no shield, 2 scaled fist, 1 stigmatized witch, 6 eldrich scion magus and 11 paladin. Tanks everything great(fist, witch, displacement+mirror image), hits everything great due to magus, crits alot(fauchard). No complains.

There's a Skald build for Seelah up on Neoseeker wiki/site.

I'll have to try this because it's so much different then what I've done with her.

At least in my game, I made her a Paladin/Demonslayer 15/5, Mark of Justice is really nice for bossfights and 5 levels of demonslayer gives her expanded animal companion picks and +4 to AB/Damage vs demons.
I was a trickster in that game and got her completely normal spell, which can be really nice. Even so, the demonslayer dip is a good combo, I think.

Straight 20 paladin with horse, falchion and 4 stats boost into strength will make her a killing machine.

How important is the monk and witch dip? I'm not a huge fan of many dips. and the magus seems like the better dip.

Both are very important. Witch dip gives 5 AC basically which is very important in act 1-2. Monk dip transfers Cha into AC and permits her to use monk robes. She will not be using armor. Despite that magic vestment(armor) buff will still apply. You will need to use mage armor and pick mythical ability - archmage armor. And also shield spell. Barskin, Faith, Mirror image+displacement. She was tanking really well for me. Unique enemies like Playful Darkness excluded.

About dips. Unlike Baldurs Gate 2 and other older dnd games - multiclassing is not only not harmful but pretty much a part of the whole game. Dipping is not an exploit. Its part of the mechanics. My only rule is not to make RP unfriendly dips i cant justify. For example giving Seelah a Hellknight level.
