[QUOTE="lkwpeter, post: 7587725, member: 6804713"] Thanks for your recommendations! Oh, did I say the "t-word"? Well, actually [B]I see my party role as "tanky DD/Support" [/B]- not just the tank. My fault. ;-) [U]Considering your suggestions I came up with the following idea of build:[/U] [B]Race: [/B]Fallen Aasimar [B]Class: [/B]Pure Paladin [B]Oath:[/B] Conquest [B]Abilities:[/B] STR 15+1 | DEX 10 | CON 14 | WIS 10 | INT 8 | CHA 14+2 [B]Skills:[/B] Athletics, Intimidation, Persuasion, Insight/Perception (not sure yet - playing Waterdeep campaign) [B]Fighting-Style:[/B] Duelist Longsword + Shield (perhaps later with Spear, see below) The FA Race Feature (Necrotic Shroud) gives an extra Mass Fear vs. CHA, what seems pretty strong for a Conquest build. +1 Strength just perfectly fits for a ST-based build. [B]Feats: [/B]The following feats seem viable for that build. If I see it right, it [B]seems to be important to find a good use of my Bonus Action/Reaction[/B], right? [U]Level 4 choice:[/U] - Shield Master (BA) to shove (DM might allow full attack [I]after[/I] shoving) - Polearm Master (BA/R): BA attack + Reaction for opportunity attack (using a spear, pretty nice in the front lines) - Sentinel (R): R for opportunity attack (playing with a monk in the group) [U]Level 8 choice:[/U] - Resilient CON (mandatory for buffs and the ST is also strong) [B]What feat for level 4 is the strongest/most reasonable to pick? Is there anything I forgot/didn't take into account? [/B] By the way: I was considering going for CON 13 and taking Resilient CON at level 4. Then I could go for DEX or WIS 12 (instead of 10). But that would delay the other feats until level 8. [B]Reasonable?[/B] Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
