******** This levelling journal is currently undergoing a refit. Having to figure out a better way to get to where I want. (26 Dec 2022) ***********
This guide is a beginner guide and is/will be SSF (Solo Self Found).
I will include budget options for gear where available (I’m hoping I find some).
As of now, this build is soft core. Depending on how this goes and the feedback, I may eventually give it a try in hard core in the future.
Starting this to document my journey, so I have a place to document my journey and pitfalls in real time.
Why S&B RF Paladin: Because when you hear Paladin, or at least when I do, I just imagine someone with a sword and shield delivering divine justice. Currently, the only paladin beginner builds are for Dual Wield Righteous Fervor with Pistols, or the Aegis Shield throw. So this journal, and hopefully build in the end, will give us a 3rd option, to fulfill anyone’s holy knight desires to bring fiery, divine justice to Cairn.
Inspiration is partially taken from:

So I can review them in case something happens with my notepad++
