Between disadvantage and Shield for A.C. 26 you are pretty much (75-90%) immune at that point to anything without +11 to its attacks, which is very rare for a non-Huge monster. Ranged PCs will kill it when they finish with the other monsters.And it goes without saying that a grappled enemy with speed zero cannot stand up from being prone. The traditional thing for the Paladin to do is grapple the enemy, push it prone if he can with his extra attack, and next round commence beating on it with his shield as an improvised weapon. As soon as he his next level and gets Warcaster that will become "beating on it with melee cantrips," followed shortly thereafter by "Eldritch Blasting it, three bolts at a time."Obviously I'm simplifying, expecting you to fill in details yourself if the enemy tries to e.g. Push you off it, but that's the first. If you sketch a specific scenario and PC party I can tell you whether grappling is likely to be worthwhile in that scenario. (Or you can figure it out yourself, it's not difficult, but I'm willing to help if needed.)</blockquote>
