Interstingly, bladeforged can only take follower of the lord of blades, not silver flame. So that's making me reconsider the FvS splash :/
Ugh I thought this was the case with BF. Times like this I wish I had game access so I could post with certainty.
Looking at it, a BF monkcher likely has around
14base+5tome+10item+1exceptional+2insight
32 charisma. (11 cha mod)
Fvs pros:
4ap for divine might
8ap for divine might + 5hp + 10prr
5% movement speed
Free feat (master of forms)
No need for turn undead (free twist slot)
Cons:
Divine might uses 15 sp
Roughly 8 saves behind a 2 or 4 paladin.
2paladin pros
5% movment speed
Free feat
8+ saves ahead of fvs
Divine might doesnt use sp
Cons
Divine might costs a twist slot
Divine might costs 7-11 ap (opinion: 5 of which sucks)
4 paladin pros
8+ saves ahead of fvs
Divine might doesnt cost sp
Cons
Loses 5% movement speed
-1 feat slot (this is huge to me, it could be quicken or mental toughness)
Divine might costs 7-11 ap
Lose access to 5% heal amp (not a big deal)
Im not bothering to work out total sp for each split on a cell phone, but I dont think ther'd be much in it.
The damage on all 3 splits is the same on paper.
The difference is your prefences with the pros and cons.
