[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7552388, member: 6795602"] If I'm playing from level 1+ and wanting a good damage dealer I'm choosing variant human with PAM level 1 feat, a spear and shield with the duelist fighting style. I'd make sure to start with 15 or 16 str and 16 cha. I'd take Inspiring leader at level 4 if I had 16 str and Heavy armor master if I had 15 str. I'd stay in Paladin till level 11. I'd use my level 8 feat to increase charisma. After paladin 11 I'd dip 1 level into hexblade. I'd then take level 12 paladin to finish maxing charisma. Most of my spell slots would go toward smites. I feel this provides one of the best and smoothest combination of offensive, defensive and out of combat progression for the paladin. For the half-elf I would go for 16 str 16 cha starting. I would then take pam at level 4 and boost charisma at level 8 and level 12. I'd take a dip in hexblade after 11 levels of paladin. I think the human build is better as it comes online faster and provides a good spot to take inspiring leader. Darkvision and +2 skills is nice on the half-elf though. [/QUOTE]
