So i just started a new game, with 5 players and a quite good DM, in a homebrew world. I decided to make a Revenant Human character, since I liked the theme of it. so i ended up with a noble lad who was orphaned at 16, then killed for his inheritance by his family cook, who had befriended him to get closer to his wealth (backstory summary). I was stuck between an Undying Warlock and a Vengeance Paladin, but eventually settled on the Paladin, since I thought it fit the motives of the character more. Since we started at 6th level, I'm thinking of maybe going to my warlock idea if the rp chance arises. I just wanna know if its a good idea. My stats are 19 Str, 18 Cha, 14 Con, and then 13 everything else. I see a lot of Hexblade/Paladins, but I am stuck on Undying if I do multiclass, so would appreciate recommendations about spells or invocations and pact boons.
Padlock builds can be very strong if you build them properly. There are several guides to them out there so do a bit of googling and see how you feel about them. I have yet to play one but it is definitely on my to do list.
If it sounds cool to you, go for it. Unless build optimization is super fun for you, which it totally is for some players, don’t worry about it. D&D existed before MMOs and optimization were a thing, and it’ll exist after, so just have fun telling the story you want to tell!
