Message: <blockquote data-quote="Todd Roybark" data-source="post: 7945707" data-attributes="member: 6920677">The catchword is Dragoon.  The horse just needs to get you to melee range, once that is done:  if the horse dies, it dies.Also, nothing stops a Paladin from being a competent bowman if the need arises.(Presuming a decent Dex score).Fighting Style: Defense, plus a good Dex, can get a character to near Plate Mail level AC.An Oath of Devotion Paladin can use Sacred Weapon on a bow.A Hexblade Warlock/Paladin M/C with Improved Pact Weapon, can Bowazon quite well.Sharpshooter works for everyone.Hexblade’s Curse + Hex +Sharpshooter can pour the damage  on with ranged weapons.  Depending upon the Invocations taken, you can Eldritch Blast through your Pact-blade bow, and pull creatures to you, for Divine Smites.Let’s not even get into Arcane Smite + Divine Smite—get crazy with the cheese wiz shenanigans.Sprinkle this with an Oathbow, and damage will be respectable, and the character will be unsafe for the DM, at any range.At higher levels, the Pally Magic Circle spell, combined with the Warlock spell list, could allow one to be a backup Summoner.  Not as good as the Bard, but the two spell lists have some interesting synergies when combined.Oath of Conquest has great control options.  Aura of Conquest when used against a flying opponent, will cause the creature to crash to the ground, almost as fast as my 401K has in the last fortnight.</blockquote>
