Paladin - Carsomyr only?

[Velvelvanel]

Hi,
I've been thinking about going though the saga with a pally. Would be a huge waste not to get Carsomyr and be FoA wielding crusader? Od smite the undead with the Daystar? I like to roleplay at least a bit so no dual wielding for a paladin.

On a powergaming level not taking carsomyr is a waste, yes.
But if you feel like going something else just do it, buddy.

Purifier is a fairly powerful Paladin only 1h Bastard Sword, if you want to go the sword and board tanky route.

And who says a proper Paladin can't dual wield? If you like to role play, even at least a bit, then you can role play anything. Say your paladin was trained by a warrior who prefered to dual wield. Or maybe they use a short sword in their off had as a parry weapon for defense.

Carsomyr is still a very powerful weapon, but if you are making an Inquisitor then you will already be up to your elbows in dispells. Or if you want to brink Keldoran along for a Paladin buddy duo, you can make use of both!

paladins only put two pips in a weapon, so you could put two pips in greatswords, 2 pips in two handed style and 2 pips in bastard swords easily enough.

though longswords have the double damage to dragons sword which is more in line with a sword and board cavalier.
