I am building a DEX paladin who is pretty much a musketeer (in the Dumas sense) but uses Verdadera Destreza as his style (spanish rapier fencing from the XVII century). I ended up deciding to go dueling with a shield reflavored as a parrying dagger and genie oath to get the unarmored defense which added to the defensive duelist feat will give him God-like AC. Destreza is a very defensive style of sword fighting based on space and blade control, so high AC fits perfectly. That part is settled. I'm now debating on wether going single class or multiclassing rogue (swashbuckler) or bard (valor or swords). I'm not open to multiclassing either sorcerer nor warlock, neither fit the theme of the character, so please don't suggest those MCs. The DM allows to skip the STR requirement for the paladin multiclass, so that is not going to be an issue. The campaign will go to Lvl 20, so any MC would leave the PC without the capstone and would have tosee how to makeroom for an epic boon. Rogue gives sneak attack, rakish audacity and more mobility due to being able to do hit-and-run and bard would give more spells and spell slots. Would it be worth it? If so, which one do you think is best? Edit: Battlemaster could work because of the maneuvers (riposte, commanding pressence, disarming strike)

My answer is the same based on your other post.
