[QUOTE="krunchyfrogg, post: 7250576, member: 10107"] I had some ideas. One was something I saw on another forum. I won’t link it here, because it probably isn’t allowed. I feel it would be in poor taste. Anyway, that idea was to go with a half orc eldritch knight who eventually dips paladin for two levels, so he can smite. I think the idea is cool, I think it’ll be powerful, but I also can’t help but think going mono-class paladin instead would be more powerful, even if you lose the shield spell, which goes so far in keeping you safe. Starting stats are STR 16 DEX 10 CON 16 INT 8 WIS 12 CHA 13. Another idea is to go half elf paladin and multiclass sorcerer later for more spell slots. Good times to abandon paladin are levels 6 and 12. STR 16 DEX 10 CON 14 INT 8 WIS 12 CHA 16. A third idea is to go half orc barbarian. Yes, it’s cliché and yes it’s been done. Never by me, but it is powerful and looks like fun. STR 16 DEX 13 CON 16 INT 8 WIS 10 CHA 12 Another idea was the half orc champion. Just crit-fish a whole lot. This sounds like a bit too much of a one-trick pony for my taste. While it might be effective, I’m afraid I’d get bored with it. STR 16 DEX 12 CON 16 INT 8 WIS 13 CHA 10 Finally, a half elf paladin/ valor bard. I have a feeling this looks better on paper than it would be playing it, since I won’t have access to the cantrips from SCAG. The idea is to be a paladin of the god of music, so it doesn’t really feel like multiclassing. You start paladin 2, and then take all levels in bard. The reason I say it looks better on paper is you would be missing extra attack until character level 8. Without the SCAG cantrips to help alleviate this, which would be difficult without SCAG, as you’d need the half elf variant so you could choose a cantrip at level 1. I feel like 3 levels is a long time in game and that this character would feel behind the curve for that time. Otherwise, you have a level 20 character that has access to wish and is a level 9 spellcaster. You have more spells to smite away than any other paladin. You have extra attack and you can pretty much do it all. STR 16 DEX 10 CON 14 INT 8 WIS 12 CHA 16. What looks best? Do any of these need tweaks to be better? Can you please suggest an aternate? Thank you so much. [/QUOTE]
