[QUOTE="Gladius Legis, post: 7313945, member: 68748"] Actually Vengeance easily makes the best use of GWM out of all Paladin oaths. Vow of Enmity plays a big part of that, and then later on so does Haste (Oath spell when you hit Lv. 9). Also be sure to pick up Resilient (CON) by Lv. 8, so you reduce (or even in some cases eliminate) the chance of losing concentration on Haste. If you're going Vengeance, you're going for damage. That's what the Oath is for, mechanically. If you're looking to be more of a tank and/or support character, several other Oaths (namely Devotion, Ancients, Conquest) are better for that purpose. Multiclassing really isn't necessary, but if you must, get to Lv. 6 (Aura of Protection) first. That said, good multiclassing options are Fighter 2* (Action Surge), Sorcerer 3 (Metamagic: Quicken Spell, Twinned Spell), or Warlock 7 (2 short-rest recharge 4th-level slots for maximum Smiting power). *If you're sure you're taking Fighter 2, start your first level as a Fighter so you get CON save proficiency right away and don't have to spend a feat for Resilient (CON). Then 6 Paladin levels, then your second Fighter level. [/QUOTE]
