Message: <blockquote data-quote="WarpedAcorn" data-source="post: 7054998" data-attributes="member: 6819400">Like I mentioned previously, I am going with Paladin over Fighter because I thematically like the idea of a "Holy" Warrior that is being used by dark forces. Could Fighter work? Absolutely. I have another build (Fighter/Warlock) in that vein, but that is a different character with a different concept (and a backup in case my current character dies in the campaign I currently play in). Mechanically, I'm going with Paladin over Fighter because of having access to Smites sounds fun and useful, plus Lay on Hands can be clutch (not to mention future Paladin abilities should I continue down that path). Knight is a background I was considering, but my current character is a Noble and I really wanted to have a different character. I was also considering Acolyte or Folk Hero. Based on the backstory, Xynthoros had a great suggestion because the Haunted One background fits this character perfectly.My only question now is whether to go Pact of the Chain or Blade...although after discussing it and the character with my group, I am leaning more towards the Chain because that Imp sounds like something I could have a lot of fun with. If my character ends up being more severe and stoic, then the Imp can let me do some funny and antagonistic things that the rest of the group can play off of.</blockquote>
