[QUOTE="ClockworkNinja, post: 8751189, member: 6801651"] I recommend a slight tweak to your progression: lvl 1: Paladin - Get all your good starting equipment lvl 2: Warlock - now you attack with charisma, don't forget your shield spell lvl 3-7: Paladin - elven accuracy, extra attack, save bonus aura lvl 8: Warlock - invocations! You have lots of options after that, continuing in paladin is fine, but you might consider going up to Warlock 5 with pact of the blade. On a crit you can use both divine and eldritch smite simultaneously, and improved pact weapon will increase your DPR, assuming you haven't found a magic weapon by this point. After that, plenty more options open up. Continuing paladin or warlock, or adding a 3rd multiclass like sorcerer or even bard. Don't just plan your "build" and force yourself to follow it. Whenever you level up, take stock of your character, in terms of roleplay, combat effectiveness and how fun they are to play. Do you find a particular aspect of them to be especially good? Do you constantly wish you had other options like ranged attacks or utility spells? I can tell you from experience that a flavorful character with an interesting story will be better than one calculated to have maximum damage. [/QUOTE]
