[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7321331, member: 6795602"] You'll not win any most damaging party awards but you will be fine on damage. A rogue, paladin and fighter all should do solid damage. You will probably do the lowest yourself but with shield master you will bring everyones damage up. If I were you I would consider multiclassing sorcerer. Why sorcerer? You get the shield spell and absorb elements and blur for defensive options. You can cast spells as a bonus action so your whole turn isn't just used casting a spell. You can twin cast spells like haste and target the rogue and the paladin which will be very strong. (rogues can get twice as much sneak attack with smart use of haste, reaction attacks...). Paladins generally naturally do solid damage per hit. Action surge lets you cast 2 spells at once or cast and attack. You also can get shadowblade which is a little better than Hex IMO. Basically unless you heavily invest in your attacks to get them doing a bunch of damage then you are probably better off multiclassing. Another consideration is to multiclass into barbarian. You have really good stats for that. You could have 21 armor without wearing any armor but a shield. you could have rage for damage resistance and extra damage etc. When you are raging you get advantage on athletics checks which helps you prone enemies with shield master.
