I am playing a Paladin for the first time, and really enjoying it so far. I just turned level 3 and am trying to figure out which 2024 subclass to pick. Here's the details:
Future Use - Likely to stop around level 10. So advantages at later levels are less interesting to me.
Race/Background - Dragonborn, with the solider background and this is a strong focus of his character (military, formation, controlling, etc).
Fighting Style at 2 - Interception
Weapons - Uses a polearm primarily (re-flavored Pike for push control), but also a greataxe for up close work (and cleave). So, two handed focus either way.
Party/Role - Party has two strikers already (Monk/melee rogue), a full cleric, a druid, and a wizard. So this is probably more focused on an (off)tank role
I'm not sure what subclass best fits this situation. I favor things that adhere to the character concept (grizzled old military veteran) in general, since I'd rather have an interesting character than an optimal build.
The first question is are you using 14 or 24 subclasses.
But either way, the next question is which one seems like the most fun to you? Paladins are a strong class no matter which one you pick, so read them over and see what looks interesting and best fits what you want your character to do.
I did read them over, and am having trouble with paralysis of choice. They all have some interesting, some not interesting elements. Nothing stands out as the obvious choice other than the Ancients is probably too much overlap with our druid, and not really in character. Was hoping for some insights here that would help me choose.

Any thoughts appreciated!

2024, sorry!
