[QUOTE="Endur, post: 6788709, member: 3346"] So I've been thinking about playing a 5e Paladin of Devotion. Most likely be a human or variant human. I want to fight on mount from time to time, but expect that the GM will have us inside more often than outside. For fighting style, I see two choices that appeal to me: Option 1: Great Weapon fighting for great sword. I go with GWF, then GWM makes sense as a feat. But I'd prefer not to use a two-handed weapon, even if it is optimal for damage. Option 2: Duelist, bonus for long sword and shield, and also lance and shield when mounted. If I go with duelist, what feat works well? The four I'm considering are Shield Master, Sentinel, Lucky, and Mounted Combatant. Shield Master is ok for most fights, but there are some for which it is useless (huge or larger enemies who don't cause dex saves). Mounted Combatant is awesome while mounted, but its useless when not on a mount. Sentinel is cool, but seems like it would be used even less than the other two. Lucky doesn't seem as necessary for this class due to the Paladin's high saving throws and high AC (plate and shield). I'm leaning towards shield master. Any comments? [/QUOTE]
