[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7284760, member: 6895991"] [MENTION=6916036]Keravath[/MENTION] you are right, 5E offers many new possibilities to envision a different Kind of Paladin, with or without multiclassing. Otoh you yourself gave "Fitting" examples of mc combinations: Your Oath of Ancients paladin/fey warlock , it does not break anything. I totally would allow this mc if the oath of anciants would fit in my campaign Setting and if it were agreed with the Players that mc is an Option. But more often than not in my campaigns certain (sometimes much more mundane) classes or races just do not fit easily. E.g. A (classic) Paladin in Ravenloft. I am old School (repeating myself lol) and for me in ravenloft still the following 2e rule is in effect as a 5e houserule: A Domain ruler instantly is Aware of a Paladin in his Domain, he knows his exact Location at any given time and most propably will give the Paladin "special attention" which normally spells instant death for the pally. E.g. a Monk in a dark sun campaign, trivialises many of the signature challenges of that Setting. E.g. a drow/dragonborn/tiefling eventually a halforc in any vanilla campaign (not official FR): He would be considered a monster by normal People and eventually hunted down / torched along with the rest of the Party. As a DM i do not want to find Workarounds to some of my Standard assumptions or ideas how a certain Setting might work just to include every space hamster ninja pirate PC. Of course i discuss that upfront with my Players and they have to agree to these restrictions. If someone of them has a Special idea i will make it possible if it is possible at all but that might alter the whole Setting / npcs Mobs etc etc [/QUOTE]
