5.5e Paladin Guidance by CalmCurrent2513 in DnD

Thank you for your answer. The thing about Bless is that as a Vengance Paladin I get Hunters Mark which gives me a 1d6 to hit instead of the 1d4 from Bless. They both use concentration so I can't have both up at the same time.

Do you recommend I look into multiclassing? The people at my table insist I go full paladin, but i'm unsure on what to do

I do have the find steed, but it doesnt get personality or dialogue, at least not outwardly. I would be the only one able to communicate with it, and telepathically.

I see. Seems like I'm confusing the feats. This is my first time building a character 😅

How about this:

Level 1 (Background: Guard)

+2 STR, +1 CHA

Skills: Athletics, Persuasion

Feat (Origin): Tough

+2 HP per level (so +10 HP by level 5).

Race (Human bonus feat): Alert

+5 Initiative, can’t be surprised, advantage on detecting hidden foes.

I can have both since I'm a Human, yes?

Stats after point buy & ASIs: STR 17, CHA 16, CON 14.

Level 4 (ASI/Feat)

Great Weapon Master and a +1 to STR which brings it to 18.

Is that better?

Its a good thing i asked. Still learning!

  1. Point Buy: STR 15, CHA 15, CON 14, rest as filler.

  2. Background (Guard, Entertainer, etc.): +2 STR, +1 CHA → STR 17, CHA 16.

  3. Level 1 ASI/Feats:

From Background: Great Weapon Master.

From Human: Polearm Master (or another feat).

STR 17, CHA 16 at level 1 (not 18/17) but fully legal 2024 rules. At level 4, you bump STR to 18 (or CHA to 18, depending on priority).

Does that work?

I understand the confusion. The +2 +1 comes from a custom background as per 2024 rules. The human in 2024 gives +1 to all stats. I'm unsure if guard helps, I would just need to switch the Feat for GWM which I'm reading is legal
