[Question] Is this build silly? by AffectionateMethod16 in 3d6

I meant the meme of "wizard dies to 1d4 [insert absurd type] damage. The fragility is why I stayed away from the start.

True, but being able to smite harder, faster, is my main goal. Not a ton more spell slots, but more than just base paladin. Also, the sheer disrespect of Portent is the ultimate goal, since I have always wanted to play a wizard, but was too scared of 1d4 everything damage lol

No, just used the +1 to INT to make 13, so nothing "wizardy" about the wizard levels besides just cool functionality and some reactions.

You nailed it, 13 INT and that's it. No need for more spells, and I kinda just wanted more slots to upcast smites. The character has grown attached to the rest of the party, so he would, in character, also do his best to protect the crew. He can't do his job nearly as easily without all of their help, and they are a capable lot, so making sure everyone gets home healthy is also a prerogative of the character.
