[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 9544101, member: 58197"] The biggest thing right now is just gaining that fifth paladin level. At that point, you have a decently optimized build already: paladin with a 2-level fighter dip for Action Surge. I assume you picked compatible fighting styles? (That is, you can use them both at the same time?) The middling Charisma isn't ideal, but it's not devastating. Try to avoid spells that rely on the enemy failing a save. You'll probably use most of your slots on smiting anyway. The other place it will pinch is paladin 6, when you get your paladin aura. That stings, but it is what it is -- and Strength 20 at your level more than makes up for it. Remember, Charisma is the secondary stat for paladins. Strength is primary. You could buy your Charisma up when you get your next feat slot (fighter 4 or paladin 8), but I think you'll do better with a combat feat. Are you playing 2014 or 2024? If 2014, then Great Weapon Mastery, Polearm Mastery, and Sentinel are all solid depending on your preferred weapons.
