ok so paladin/warlock build to make a death knight????
this is my first build like this from what i see i would need at least a lvl 5 paladin and a lvl 6 warlock to get what i am thinking is there other ways??
and like i said first time making this any suggestions welcome ... even weapon suggestions spells and alike
There are a few builds online that tackle it, if you're on utube then worth looking for d4 death knight as they do a pretty decent one that gives the flavour but does a lot of multiclassing.
My 2cp worth is go for:
Race: you could go for Reborn or Dhampir for the undead side but i'd go for Warforged and flavour it as Undead and not Construct to give that spirit bound to a suit of armour vibe.
Background: probably Acolyte but any would work.
Class: single class Paladin/Oathbreaker.
The difficulty comes in the Death Knight monster being a level 19 paladin for spell casting so you might need to make some concessions if you want the hellfire orb attack. Based on the level split you mentioned in your post then you could go 5 levels paladin and 6 warlock and use either Flaming Sphere if you multiclass celestial warlock or fireball if you multiclass fiend warlock to represent the hellfire orb.
EDIT: you could also have a look out for a Dread Helm, it just makes your eyes glow red but otherwise is pretty thematic.
If Oathbreaker isn't available to you then my next go to would be Oath of Conquest followed by Vengeance. Tasha's Cauldron of Everything did add an Invocation to the Warlocks that let them use Animate Dead once per long rest as well as add the Summon Undead spell to the Warlock spell list but there is also the option of going Hexblade Warlock so at level 6 you get to summon a spectre once per long rest and you;ve also got access to all the lovely Hexblade Curse stuff as well.
