After a quick look:

- I would drop the Dodging training and make sure you are using a tower shield.
- Use the freed up TPs for some additional lore training or to start pushing your armor training so you can get into plate sooner (assuming that is a goal).
- You will want 24 ranks of SMC if you plan on learning 1640 (and I would recommend the additional 1 point to 25 so you can use MANA SPELLUP 1x per day).
- You are likely going to want more perception/survival/climbing/swimming depending on where you are looking to hunt.

Overall it looks reasonably solid!

I probably should have mentioned I play in Plat so being self-sufficient is my main goal. Right now I have a spiked medium shield and use a white ora falchion with holy flares. I think when I still played I mostly hunted undead as I am a Voln Master too. Right now I need to research what I can hunt as I don't remember.

Should I train in multi opponent combat and ambush at all?

When you figure out what you're doing training wise pop over to the Plat forums and let us know what you need. I'm sure we can get you some better gear than that.

Now that I'm done with spells I'm starting to flesh out everything else. My main goal is to get to 150 armor ranks for full plate. I'm sure I could dial my ambush back a little bit but it works for me right now.

I don't see any problems really. Even for the Climb/Swim/Survival/Perception, you have more than my level 60 Paladin. Granted, Symbol of Seeking helps a bit to avoid skill checks...

I do prefer a more armor-intense build generally. I literally had 60 ranks of armor use at level 20. I'd think by this level you should be in hauberk (80 ranks) or metal breastplate (90 ranks). I was in full plate by 44, but I have a really nice set.



The deathbot will come back eventually.
