I think you have literally double the creatures that you will get to use, and waste the spellpoints on that.

Or looked at another way - if you are going to stand still and cast creatures every round, there's no point having all that equipment to make the Paladin into a combat tank...

For a first book this is cool. I'd say play it and knock it around some. One thing I'd suggest is losing the Leather Gloves for the Champions Gauntlets. You seem worried about losing your stuff and that'll help a lot.

There is no substitute for experience. Play the book, and see which creatures you don't cast, or cast and wish they were something else. See what you struggle with, and add in tools to address that.

You can't build a perfect book first time, and the book will need to evolve as your opponents do, as you do, as you play against different people and different mages...

You say you don't have time to 'test' but testing it through play is the game. All of it...

Play it and knock it around some. I think youll take one of those red helms out at least.

I don't think any of your spawnpoints are worth harmonizing, so unless you harmonize your mage, I would replace it with one "cure" and one "arcane ward" (spells from academy).
If you are going to harmonize your mage, you would actually have a decent mana gain with the paladin. Just don't forget that you want to get valor as well :)

armonize was meant for my mage u got it right...i had no room for a moonglow amulet nor space in the arena for another conjuration...i tryedthe book yesterday and came to the conclusion i definitelly have to replace those lesser tp with force pushes and i was not satisfied by red helms...the only good they bring to the deck is the psichic immunity i think my creature space is not optimized...feel like i miss something...

2 dispel 2 dissolve 1 purify 1 remove curse looks good on defense but what you do against oponent enchantments. For example a defense+ wands you only have 2 dissolve

I'd double the ring of dawnbreaker (you run 3 bear strength though why not double your +1melee on your sword and luminoust blast also). It is defenitly better than the temple where you already have to decide in upkeep and it can be worked around.

"edit" Forgot that in some interation the gauntles started to also protect rings. So probably not necessary, but youll need those gauntlets also the Signet ring is a valuable target

You run lot of enchantments maybe a regrowth instead of the belt and go for vet belt?

(I'd also include Gauntlets of strengh in case i know now dissolves its just a permanent 1dice boost but this is optinal, Champion gauntlets are nice but with double bastion, double sword you could let them waste dissolves on those first and then bring out the gauntlets if necessary keeping it totally save. With Armor ward its nice combon anyway but I'd take one nullify also if you run Champion)

Watch out on your creature selection. When are you intending to cast the monk? Via the banner or not, else you can easy run in trouble if your Banner is thretened as you have to summon 2 creatures and all cost you 12 mana minimum so you may not be able to use it at all. Secondly, if you meet someone else with flyers, have fun. You remain with 4 Flyers that only have 3 dice (due to hindering of the griffins) and Temmplar rolls a max of 4 anyway if you have all temples out.

I am not sure if you should take the Temple of light at all, another quite expensive thing. Maybe Dawnbreaker for your shield defense?

Reason for Restore? Have you considered another purify or remove curse or wand of healing or are you only counting on cleansening aura.

The Paladins cloak for 3 active healing spells? Not sure if that is worth it, maybe add 1 more and remove a healing charm?


I have to few games under my belt, do

If you have two red helms also consider taking some knights courage with you. 7 dice against strongest really rocks :)

Yes when Red Helms are good, they are really good, and Knights courage doubles up on that.

They are very punishing to solo mages and buddy-builds.
