Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9591447" data-attributes="member: 7030563">Two of my 2020 campaigns have a Rogue-PaladinMy I just finished a campaign with a PC that had Rogue and Paladin: Halfling Rogue 10/Paladin 1/Fey Warlock 8/Bard 1.  She took the Paladin dip very early at level 2.She primarily used a Sortsword, Vicous Dagger and Rapier with Agonizing Truestrike in melee most of the time, occasionally smiting and a Heavy Crossbow or later in game a pistol with Truestrike out of melee.  Late in game though she was also throwing a lot of control spells.  TBH I did not know about this ability to smite with a thrown dagger while I was playing her.  That may have changed the way I played her once she found the V. Dagger.We are playing in another 2024 campaign with a Paladin-Rogue, I think it is like 7 Devotion Paladin/4 Assassin Rogue right now.   He hasn't used a Thrown weaon smite yet either and is primarily Longbow for Ranged attacks. The thing that makes this multiclass tough is you are split between Rogue for sneak attack or Paladin for spell slots and it is tough to really cash in on both.  You either get Rogue levels and then can't smite very often, or get Paladin levels and you have a low sneak attack.  I think if you are going to play this it might go best with 4 Paladin levels and the rest in an Arcane Trickster and run a 13 Charisma and 8 Intelligence and use a Blade Cantrip.  You will still be pretty low on slots for smites but the Arcane Trickster levels at least let you advance some slots while staying close to the sneak attack ladder.  Using a Blade Cantrip will make up a little for the loss of a few sneak attack levels.</blockquote>
