[QUOTE="Brakkis, post: 6801812, member: 6808957"] I could use some advice on where exactly to take this character in terms of class levels. It's an Oath of the Ancients Paladin, Celestial Warlock ([URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/5earchetypes/showentry.php?e=197&catid=1"]Homebrew[/URL]). Okay so to start off we rolled for stats, 4d6 drop the lowest and I rolled 17,17,16,15,14,11 ([I]Hurray for good rolls...it'll come back to bite me in the ass in game. I'll roll 1's like Wheaton throughout combat. Go Karma![/I]). Going Half-Elf I ended up with [B]Str[/B] - 18 [B]Dex[/B] - 12 [B]Con[/B] - 17 [B]Int[/B] - 14 [B]Wis[/B] - 15 [B]Cha[/B] - 18 Thus far my plan is to go Paladin 7/Warlock 3 for Aura of Warding and Pact of the Chain. Beyond that, I haven't really been able to decide. I'll probably go Paladin 8/Warlock 4 and get 2 Ability Score Improvements/Feats, leaving me 8 levels to do something. [LIST] [*][I]Paladin 8/Warlock 12[/I] doesn't really jump at me without Pact of the Blade which I didn't take. [*][I]Paladin 16/Warlock 4[/I] would give me Aura of Courage, Improved Divine Smite, Cleansing Touch, and Undying Sentinel along with most of the Oath spells. [*]I could go Oath of Vengeance for better Oath spells, and go [I]Paladin 6/Warlock 14[/I] to get the final Patron ability but I'm not sure of that. I lose an ASI/Feat to get this build, along with Aura of Warding. [*]The other option I'm mulling over is [I]Paladin 12/Warlock 4/Fighter 4[/I] and pick up Second Wind, Action Surge, a 2nd Fighting Style (picked Dueling with Paladin) and either Champion/Improved Critical or Battlemaster/Combat Superiority [*]Lastly, a slight variation on the above is [I]Paladin 12/Warlock 5/Fighter 3[/I] for essentially the same thing, minus an ASI/Feat, to gain 3rd level spell slots with the Warlock. Not sure that's worth it. [/LIST] Essentially I want 5 ASI's/Feats with my build, or at least 4. I'm looking at Alert, Sentinel, and Shield Master (wielding a Longsword and Shield, with a Greatsword backup) for Feats, while boosting Str and/or Cha to 20. So, thoughts? [/QUOTE]
