I am currently playing a dragonborn paladin soldier, 6th level, and am considering multiclassing into a warlock. Needing suggestions for a patron though. Little backstory on my character: I have been sent to the plane I am on by my god, Kiri Jolith, to stop Takhisis from gaining a presence here. She has sent draconians and eggs to help her gain power here. I did wander on my own for a while, before coming here, after an attempt on my life while worshiping Kiri Jolith. Any thoughts or suggestions woule be appreciated.
Multiclassing here would depend on whether your Paladin is reaffirming their bond to their current god, or takes a bond with another god out of need - does another god/being offer them help in a moment of panic, or do they pledge more of themselves to the one they serve?
This is an interesting opportunity to RP a moment of commitment or a change in faith, and no matter what decision you make it will probably (DM discretion) change your relationship to your current god - they will either have more power in your life as your patron, or they will have lost sole hold on you and your power source.
RP wise it's generally very difficult to rationalize going from paladin to warlock and maintain you're paladin powers as generally you end up breaking oaths with a patron. It's much simpler rationalizing going from Warlock to Paladin.
Remember while there is a celestial warlock path your diety is not a celestial and a celestial you make a pact with may not entirely aline with your diety. You're Oath is viewed through the eyes of you're diety. Breaking them in how your diety views them will cause you to loose your paladin powers.
This while it's my opinion is one that I know many share. You may want to discuss this with your DM to see how he views this multiclass.
