[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8069655, member: 7025282"] I was interested to hear how others have developed an Oath of devotion or Conquest Paladin. For background I am looking to acolyte or folk hero for RP reasons. There are motivations to adventure which stem from being oppressed as a person of humble beginnings. but as to combat...I had several ideas. almost no matter what, I am looking variant human. And I am very likely to take heavy armor master. I want the character to be indefatigable and one who keeps getting up so to speak when knocked down. I am torn about feats, fighting style and approach. I have considered: 1. Dueling fighting style but later taking GWM. I might just hope for the extra attack OR switch to a two handed weapon at times. 2. I never fight with two weapons. However, I could take defense fighting style and later dual weapon fighting feat. Between the two my ac would be bumped up as if using a mundane shield. I also would have an extra chance to smite! Plus a Morningstar and axe seems fun. 3. I have also thought about defensive style and just alternating with a shield and one handed and two handed as the situationdemands. lastly, I am interested in feats and temporary hit points. I like heroism. Bless is cool. Resilient con is on the table. I don’t like dumping below 10 for stats. I am interested in your suggestions and experiences with paladins [/QUOTE]
