Hey, I am creating a Paladin for the first time and need some help. First of all: In all that years, I learned that I really need a character that is versatile in combat and has good damage output. I like min-maxing. Realistically, I am planning to play this character until level ~12-15. We...

Thanks for your detailed answer again! I played a couple of sessions with my Paladin (level 3) so far. I realized that there is really a lack of possibilities using the Bonus Action. I know that this might get better in further levels, but so far I have really few spell slots and almost all...

Ah, so you suggest the best way to be Polearm Mastery without shield for triggering most OA and stay out of melee range from foes, right? Well, I guess I'm going to play my character until level 15 or so. So, this would make sense. But I also expect my DM to allow me switching fighting style on...

Your explanations are awesome! Thank you guys! @Blue: I didn't get all your explanations. But if I understand you right, your advice is to stick to Sword-and-Board and get Polearm Master with a 1H-spear, right? - high AC - good average damage due to Duelist + reaction/bonus action attack -...

Thanks for your great answer! Your argumentation is very thorough! You are totally right with Shield Master. Thought it was DM-depended (as written in this guide), but Jeremy made that quite clear. So, Shield Master is out then. Polearm Master Concerning Bonus Action you compared 2H-fighting...

Thanks for your advice! Resilient (CON): You are right. Furthermore, I think Resilient is stronger on later levels, when the proficiency bonus that is added, is higher. I even might find out that there is no need for resilient, because the Aura of Protection (adding CHA mod. to all my saves)...

Thanks for your recommendations! Oh, did I say the "t-word"? Well, actually I see my party role as "tanky DD/Support" - not just the tank. My fault. ;-) Considering your suggestions I came up with the following idea of build: Race: Fallen Aasimar Class: Pure Paladin Oath: Conquest Abilities...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, we are. I am just considering, if I should go for a god that fits my actual situation or if I should go for one that represents the pure good (and vanished inside me or was suppressed by the daemons of my past).

Hi, I am playing a Fallen Aasimar that was captured by some evil faction (like drow - don't know yet). Touched by a god they felt the presence and decided to take advantage of it. They tortured and brainwashed him until his pure soul became a picture of misery. Many years have passed and he...

Thanks for your answers! Oh man, that's such a tough decision. All Oaths have pros and cons. And I am still not sure how to combine it with Aasimar. That's what I know about the character I want to play: Race: Protector Aasimar (for RP reasons) OR best optimized race (Human: Varian, Half-Elf)...

Thanks for your comment! 1.) Would it be viable to ask my DM to change an ability bonus referring to the "variant race rules"? 2.) I could ask for ST/DEX/CON. That would make Aasimar great, wouldn't it? 3.) I still don't know which setup to go for. I was thinking to either go for Polearm...

Hi, I was thinking about a Protector Aasimar Paladin, but from the perspective of optimization this race seems a bit behind (e. g. compared to an half-elf), isn't it? Our camptaign starts at level 3 and I am looking for a good build with Vengeance Oath. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all your answers! Quite happy about it! Sorry, I fortgot! Yes, I was thinking about Vengeance or Ancients as well. Think, I'd rather go for Vengeance. Thanks, your answer sounds absolutely plausible. I know that I had to go ST13, but I forgot to take this into account while posting...

Hi! First things first: We are starting a new campaign soon. Because our DM wants some more interesting RP interactions for the new adventure, I had the idea playing a Drow Paladin. Guess, a Drow in the party will spice adventuring up for sure. ;-) I know I have to find some workarounds for...

Yesterday, I discussed the whole topic with my table. It came out that my players didn't care for the whole "counterspell issue", but they asked me not to announce some spells like illusions or when a creature casts invisibility, because they don't want meta gaming. They wanted to use the...

Maybe it's the easiest and best way to tell anyone on your table what you are casting and don't allow Counterspell at higher levels. 1.) That would prevent cheating as Bacon Bits described in his post. 2.) It would speed up the game (no "Any reactions?" questions whenever someone casts a...

Hm...okay. Understand that. But what's about a Cleric using a focus?

Hi, the optional rule for Disarming says: Usually a caster uses a component pouch (at least in our games). So, would you allow e.g. a ranged attacker to target the component pouch of a caster to shoot it off his grasp, then pick it up himself to prevent the caster from further spells? Kind...
