[QUOTE="77IM, post: 6973197, member: 12377"] Paladin 2 is a good dip for a Bard, Sorc, or Warlock who is interested in becoming a melee/caster hybrid with healing spells, smites, good weapon and armor proficiencies, a fighting style, social skills, etc. You only give up 1 caster level and 1 spell level of your main class. Sorcerer has the best spells here ([I]shield[/I] for example) but you can only get Extra Attack if you become a Valor Bard or a Blade Warlock. Champion Fighter 3 lets you crit on a 19-20 which fits in well with a lot of multi-attack builds (dual-wielding or Polearm Master or Frenzied Berserker, or just be a Monk). Of course if you are going to go to level 3 you might want to go to level 4 to pick up the ASI. You'll want to delay all of this until after 5th level of your main class, to get Extra Attack. Fun ways to pump up your crit damage include being a half-orc, being a Barbarian, being a Paladin (only smite when you crit) with the Oath of Vengeance (advantage on attack rolls, and cast [I]hunter's mark[/I]), and being a dual-wielding Rogue (take Fighter to level 5 to get Extra Attack; you lose some sneak attack dice, but eventually the crit rate makes up for it and at high levels exceeds it). Lots of options for the crit-focussed Champ 3. [/QUOTE]
