Seelah build. 11 pal then..or full 20

[Fistimus Maximus]

Torn between sticking full paladin or going say cav for more feats. Either way she is great, using scimitar (for a change) and horse tanking on unfair and she crits alot. Previously had her pure paladin during angel run and in previous went bard. How did you all build her? Reason im unsure is the new heavy armor mythics like assault.

Pal20 is perfectly viable, even on Unfair. But I don't think a Paladin gets that much out of staying pure, personally. Gendarme is solid, as is something like Pal 14/Sacred Huntsmaster 3/Mutation Warrior 3. Because I play casters, I use her as a Skald most often, but since you're focusing on her pet, it's probably not the best option for you.

I never reached that high level but if I want her to tank personally I generally start by going 1 stigmatized witch 1 traditional monk & rest into paladin, gives her very nice early AC buff through iceplant hex & some nice passives from monk.

true though loose higher rank spells, my problem is half the fun is the potential.

You do, but the best Paladin spells are Bless Weapon and Bestow Grace, which are spell level 1 and 2. If you give her points in UMD, she can also use scrolls for the higher level spells.

tried that build early game but didnt enjoy, as my main is fey-enchantment the horse tank was fine without dedicated tank.

To be fair I only use Seelah up to until I get Regill most importantly because I just don't like paladins much myself. What I mentioned always worked wonders for me but it needs to be said I only play on Core so no Unfair for me or anything like that.

Pal 20 is okay but i feel the capstone for Paladin is rather meh. Currently i like to give Seelah a level in Beast rider at 3 so she can have a Dog pet instead of being stuck with a horse. Then Pal 11 and the rest in something like mutation warrior

though fun, dog is the default for animal domain. If she was a halfling...

My preference is Paladin 2 / Oracle (Battle mystery) 18. This way she serves as main tank and main divine caster, makes room for other characters in the team. I often take with Mythic levels Life as Second mystery for more spells and channel energy.

Paladin is a pet class. Pretty much if it is a pet class it works.

true its more a choice do you stay full paladin for flavour i.e so everyone gets smite or switch to more dps as people mentioned after 11 paladin drops off and also lacks feats. One question ive basicly put all my stats in charisma, Though say I go gendarme I feel would be slightly suboptimal as strength would be primary though For the king would still help from charisma.

Pet seems better at level 5, issue I have is after level 11 paladin feels...lackluster.

Well, you'd still want CHA for Smite Evil, Mark of Justice, and Divine Grace scaling. 3 levels of Mutagen Warrior can help boost your STR score.
