I am assuming that you rolled for stats and that after taking into account your racial bonuses your rolls were 16, 16, 12, 7, 11 and 14 in which case I would move the stats aournd and after applying racial bonuses to have something like this:
Str 16 Dex 7 Con 16 Int 12 Wis 12 Cha 16
I advise dumping Dex because you are wearing heavy armor and using your Str to make attacks, that makes Dex a less useful stat because all it serves will be for checks and saving throws. Moving the 16 to Con and the 12 from Con to Int gives you better saving throws for those stats. Con is important because not only does it give you more HP per lvl it also affects your concentration saves to maintain concentration spells if you take damage. Personally I just prefer having better Int saving throws but you could easily swap the 7 to Int and have 12 in Dex if thats what you prefer.
I’d go with the last paragraph of lonleymagi. Switch dex and con. Dex is still good for initiative. And dex saves come up much, much more than int saves.
Thank you. I went with half the recommendation. Moved the dex to con and kept int low. I just felt the dex helps the paladin in more ways than int. Really appreciate the help.
