Dragonborn - You receive 5% more healing from all spell and abilities
- Grants you +2 to any stat
- Your power and critical chance are 3% higher than that of other race


Metallic Ancestry Dragonborn - You receive 3% more healing from all spell and abilities.Your maximum hit points
total is 3% higher than that of other race
- Grants you +2 to any stat
- Your power and critical chance are 3% higher than that of other race

Human - Your defence is 3% higher than that of other race
-Grants you +2 to any stat

    So ? Which one you all prefer more..I love human heroic feat gain but the 3% defence is like meh..And also I would like to know is Paladin Templar Wrath and Cleansing Touch consider as spell and abilities ? If I choose Dragonborn/Ancestry Dragonborn will my templar and cleansing touch heal more than usual ?

    I have Dragonborn pack - I still went Human on both my Paladins: human extra 3 feats and do *not* sneeze at Defense. Gentleman Crush just mentioned the same in other Paladin thread: do not take Defense stat so lightly as it definitely matters for survival.

    Because a Paladin is a melee class it doesn't matter if you choose the Devotion or Protection tree: you're always going to be in the middle of the crappola and you *will* need some real surivability. I just respec'd into Bulwark branch on my Protection tree Paladin and dropped a little HP and beefed-up Defense in my stat load-out - DPS dropped off the cliff, but I am surviving *freakin' everything* with breathing room to spare.

    Just some food for thought.

    I enjoy my dragonborn (non metallic) devotion justice build. It's more offensive oriented so I went with a crit build. However she heals rather nicely while providing DPS, so it's nothing to sneeze at.

    For a an outright defensive build, I would probably go with human.

    For tank-OP it can be better.
    I think +2CON can give more HP/DR than 3 points on Steadfast in my build.

    +3%power can be good for aura gifts.

    Metallic is nice but its way too expensive.

    For Healer-OP human is probably better.

    I can't decide this question for me - Dragonborn is nice for its bonuses, but if u go human that additional 3 feat points can be put in feat, that gives 1% crit for every charisma above 10 - so it's +7% crit chance for human build (or even more).
    Ofc best choice is Metallic Dragon - but as far as i know it's bugged and doen's give extra hit points.

    For a devotion OP, I was able to put 3 points in Force of Will to get full crit bonus from my charisma and only 2 points into Divine Wisdom for healing. As it is, I put out more than enough healing even for T2. I skipped all of T3, they were all very lackluster. So with that build and being dragonborn, you net a good amount of crit.
