If I didn't have a Dwarf Pally already I'd consider it, but if Charisma is really the min/max path, then doesn't that automatically rule Dwarf out of being a min/max choice because of their asscrack Charisma score?

+87 CHA from 6 cheap items (one's even free) . Throw them on when you're in the rare situation where a failed lull is guaranteed to kill you. Keep them in the bag the other 99.99% of your playtime when you aren't that worried about it, and prioritize much more valuable stats like WIS, HP, mana, AC, etc...

CHA is not a dump stat but it's extremely overrated in importance for Paladins and Clerics given how cheap and abundant +CHA gear is and how rarely you actually NEED to maximize it to survive.

Is Brell gnome possible to wear dwarf armour with the more handy tinkered clickies?

Iirc halflings follow the church of mischief - not brell.

Gnome can wear the tinkered armor, it isn't diety specific

If you go High Elf dump everything into Wisdom

Your base CHA is already good and with Cultural Armor and a Crude Stein you're good to go

STR is ridiculously easy to raise and cheap to do so

120 Base Wisdom for a Paladin can't be beat

Starting stats are best allocated considering low level / undergeared play. This also means considering what stats are most useful on a corpse run.

Charisma is a great choice in that regard as often CRs will involve stealthing back into camps with no charisma gear to swap to.

But how often are you really going on perilous naked CRs , requiring you to lull your way through a dangerous dungeon solo, naked and with no assistance?

Versus how often do just get your corpse dragged by a Rogue/Monk/SK or worst case summoned by a Nec?

It doesn't make sense to prioritize a stat that you rarely need like CHA, compared to one like STA or WIS (or even STR for a High Elf) that you get more direct benefit from.

Gnome cleric with girdle of rapidity, gnome tinkered armor for clickies, and a sarnak devastator was legitimately the most fun i've ever had. He's level 52 and still melee solos things
