THF Paly Melee build for non-melee Past Lives?

[Itinerant Wanderer]

Hi

I would like to get heroic completionist, but prefer to play as a GAxe / GSword / Falchion THF melee Paly (or Barb) possible. Could anyone point me in the direction of a template build with a melee core that would work for this? Sadly I don't have Dragonlord. As I would also like to get to 30 for Epic Lives, something that is decent up to 30 would be preferable.

So I am looking for something like, for example, 9 Paly / 11 XXXXX or 7 Paly / 5 Fighter / 8 XXXXX.

Thanks!

The problem with pally is that 9 levels don't do much for you. You either want 15 for the 2 good lvl 4 spells (holy sword and zeal) or 3 to get stuff from KotC and the early class powers.

So for a falchion build usable with any class, I'd rather go barbarian. Something like 8 x/6 barb/6 fighter would work fine, use FB as main tree (or ravager if you need the healing), get haste boost from kensei and extra survivability from SD.

Thanks - 6 barb/6 fighter/8 x seems simple enough for any class (is it monk only?) that does not have chaotic alignement issues.
For a lawful build would 3 paly / 8 fighter / 9 XXX work, and if so do you have any tips?

monk and pally need law.

barb and bard need non law

druid needs partially neutral

6 barb/6 fighter is usable by any class except monk and paladin yes.

For a paly split 3/8/9 should work, put enough points into KotC to get greatswords as a favored weapon, tier 5 kensei and rest into sacred or stalwart defender for extra survivability.
If you find that you really like KotC or you fight a lot of undead/evil outsiders, you can go 6 paly/6 fighter/8 x and take tier 5 KotC instead, it's a great tree.
