Yes, that's what I meant. Thank you for clarifying it. A 3-attack archery style fighter with cleric utilities such as dampen element.

I'm guessing short rest smites and advanced familiar. RP reason, maybe?

Paladin 11 / warlock 7 if you only care about smiting. You get 3rd slots from pally and 4th from lock. As ancient, paladin 7 for aura of warding is the stopping point. Unless there's another invocation you want, I would stop with chainlock 3. That leaves 10 levels of a pure caster, bard or...

Well, that's RAW so yes. Why would a barbarian / moon druid MC go above Str13 anyway? And what is this "improved Str", are you sure you're talking about 5e?

Cha is well covered, so some Int/Wis class would be best. Vengeance pally is melee offensive, you'd better not be a squishie. And yes, covering range. Wis - bow with extra attack using Dex -- ranger 5 with archery, gets goodberry for free -- fighter 5 with archery - cleric -- nature 6 for...

I'm not sure how this can make any sense.

That's because you're taller, try getting on your knees.

Since we're talking about a pally, that's not an issue. Please don't talk about getting a feat before level 4, variant human cannot be a hard requirement. A typical encounter for 4 level 4 character is closer to 4xCR1 or 6xCR1/2. A single CR 5-7 is hard/deadly so no surprise if anyone dies. I...

Well then you don't need tough at all. And inspiring leader shines just as well if not better. Vengeance is overrated and does not mesh well with sentinel. If sentinel is part of your concept, the other oaths do enough damage to satisfy you.

Excessive melee DPS, low healing, no caster, no face. That a perfect match for a lore bard. Mellored guide is great: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468629-GUIDE-A-party-without-music-is-lame-A-Bard-Guide. You will want bard 6 ASAP for secrets but AC14 is low. You can pick variant...

A bigger problem is that there are no "best" paladin. - How do you want to roleplay? - How will you assist your party? You should discover how each oath can help you satisfy those two points and skim the guides for which spells can further those goals. Then come back here for the finer points...

Nicely put. Con+2 beats tough hands down.

Tough is best to save low-health classes like sorcerer/wizard where it makes a difference. You already get something like 9 hp per level, an extra 2 won't do much. Paladinhave no need for warcaster, their holy symbol already covers most of it.

With stats like that, you are ahead of the ASI curve. Only Str18 and resilient (Con) have some value, depending on which concentration spell you use. You will want to even out Dex14 and Cha20 later. I'll second the inspiring leader and add shield master since you are heavy+shield. Finer...

"You determine what spells you know and can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class." You have 2 sides just like frosted mini-wheats. You are a level 3 warlock and gain all its features. You are a level 1 sorcerer and gain all its features*...

I was confused for a second: ashe and soot.

I don't know. Pick a modern gun and shoot at someone in armor. It won't be much harder to hit. In fact, DR could be considered glancing blows. The weapon wastes some of its energy sliding on the armor.

FTFY, that's how I'd handle it. Tinkering is fun, but I'm not sure it's all that good. Low-armor classes are already penalized by smaller HD, in a way this is double-dipping against them.

Everything in the Classes chapter goes by class level.

You could refluff a half-orc barbarian and a lightfoot halfling warlock to match that concept. Customizing from that base might be easier.
