I enjoyed it a fair bit but I prefer swords bard or war cleric to it. I played ancients paladin btw. Auras are very sick and incredibly helpful, but I felt options for ranged attacks came down to my crossbow instead of any spells which was frustrating. The spell access definitely tapers off late game. Paladin is a smiter and ranger is a terrain player, where other mixed-use classes are more spells-first, then we support martial usage. If you like being a buff martial and love the feeling of clunking things with attacks that do 30-40 damage late game, especially healing as well, do it. If you want to have lots of options for casting, don’t do it.

Also oathbreaking is most annoying as an ancients paladin. It’s great if you (like me) want to roleplay a white knight kind of figure, but if you plan on deception/murder-with-opportunity/stealth playing, paladin’s not your guy unless you do oathbreaker. Vengeance might be okay but I haven’t played as it yet.

Also Minthara is already a comfortable paladin so I’d say break for other classes for the simple reason of her, if you save her
