I am currently playing curse of strahd as a devotion paladin with sword and shield. (I will say we are going to continue the adventure after the module to levels 18-20)
Str-16 Con-14 Cha-18
I took inspiring leader at 4th level getting me to 18 charisma. I was wondering if I should take 2 half feats to reach 20 charisma or it better to just use the asi to cap it as soon as possible.
For a devotion paladin +2 charisma is a feat that gives you: +1 to all saves +1 to hit when using your channel divinity +1 to save DC
I would argue that is better now then spreading across multiple ASI's. The only charisma feat i would consider is Inspiring Leader and you already have it.
imo always go feats over ASI. warcaster is pretty peak for a paladin, especially sword and shield. And then at 12 I don't know feyouched, telekinetic etc.
100% disagree, getting 2 ability scores is pretty powerful. I would never always go X. It really is a case by case choice. You need to weigh the feat itself with adding that other +1 as well as the future potential as well.
With the build you have, I would suggest you just take the +2 Charisma at level 8, then at level 12 I'd take +2 Constitution if you are routinely getting bloodied and/or concentrating on an important spell in battle, otherwise +2 Strength.
