Message: <blockquote data-quote="faria" data-source="post: 6952452" data-attributes="member: 6780042">I like characters like this. I would only take 1 level of Fighter though for the Heavy Armor and Fighting School. Warlock Pact of the Blade gets its own Extra Attack and I think delaying your main job's progression too much isn't a good idea. Maybe after you get Extra Attack you can go Fighter 2, but you said it yourself, Action Surge would raise an eyebrow or two. Fighter 3 isn't worth it IMO.If you wanna consider other class concepts/ideas, a couple things come to mind:The big dumb Half-Orc Barbarian with super low INT/WIS who thinks he's a wizard. He yells things like "Color Spray" as he dismembers his foes and blood sprays everywhere. "Enlarge/Reduce" as he decapitates an enemy. "Sleep" as he knocks someone unconscious. He genuinely thinks that that's what magic is... You can take this concept and make your paladin. A really, really dumb Half-Orc who thinks he's been blessed by his deity. He claims to be a paladin because he truly believes he is one. His version of Lay on Hands is choking an enemy to death. He is genuinely surprised when enemies don't obey his "Command" spell, which is just him yelling at enemies to do stuff...There's also the brilliant but weak Goliath Warlock/Wizard who is forced to win his people's endless competitions with guile and magic. He fakes attacking with his weapon while his Sprite familiar is the one that does most of the work. 2 Wizard levels for Portent to guarantee a couple Sprite poisons/sleeps. Agonizing Blast when he has to take matters into his own hands. For your paladin, you can go with Pact of the Blade instead and fake your way to winning those competitions with some creative and subtle spellcasting. You don't really need Wizard for this, just go straight Warlock. Pick up Magic Initiate for Goodberry so you can use Lay on Hands by stuffing berries in people's mouths.</blockquote>
