Pally Weapons - Religion

[SleepIncarnate]

Ok, so I'm debating making a pally soon, and curious to see what the difference, gear wise, the various races and religions factor in. I know from the 1999 wiki that Erudites get some unique to them gear to help make up the difference in strength and stamina, and that High/Half Elf worshipers of Tunare get Nature's Defender. Is there anything else decent? Like is there dwarf specific stuff out there, or stuff only for followers of Mithaniel Marr?

nothing comes close to dwarf stats

don't make the mistake of making a non-dwarf

Dwarf cultural, though not specific to only dwarfs. Dwarven platemail.

Humans get field plate armor that can be deity specific.

Doesn't work for Paladins. Erollisi Marr, Rodcet Nife, and Karana imbues work out decent for Cleric (wis primary). Rallos Zek imbue works for Warrior (str primary, sta secondary), but you can't be a Rallos Paladin. Mithaniel Marr appears to work for Paladin, until you notice that it requires imbued diamond, simply not worth the cost.

If you want to minmax, go dorf and be despised. If you want the Velious pseudo-epic, go High-Elf or Half-Elf and follow Tunare. If you want to look good go Erudite or Half-Elf. If you want to be able to use the best Paladin one-hander out of Sky go Erudite or Human (Paladin is the only class screwed by race-restricted Sky quest rewards, WTH? oh well, at least the damned dorf munchkins can't use it.) If you want to have fun and get groups post-50, roll another class or wait until the XP penalty goes away and all the scumsucking minmax-munchkins will start shunning the Warriors they love today for the Knights they'll love tomorrow.

Roll an Erudite and pras the Ocean lord yall. Prexus 4 lyfe.

Brell Dwarf is best stats by far and great cultural gear - Sky racial excluded quest sword doesn't even matter because the Bixie Sword Blade is way better than what you turn it in for, and Dwarf can equip it just fine.

That sword is equal to or better than epic and practically born into a tunare worshipper's hands once hate revamp is in.

High Elf imo though is better than Half. Half elf wisdom is crap and paladins do need mana.

They need STR too and High Elf STR is terra bad. A high elf in plate is permanently encumbered.
