So I've been wanting to make a satyr character along the lines of a conman/entertainer man with lots of face skills but also a decent front liner. Here's what I came up with, I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this.
I don't see any reason why a paladin can't sing songs and play instruments too, clearly have the skills for it if built this way. I also edited it as I had longsword as the weapon but needs to be a rapier for sneak attack.
Its just you seem to be building an ability sheet instead of a character sheet. Paladin and conman with a rapier wielding satyr feels weird, but for sure do whatever you like, I have old fashioned ideas.
Yes it would appear you put both Conquest up top and Ancients in your level details.
I think Paladin Bards can be fun. Both senergize well with ability scores. Lore or Valor usually go well with any Paladin but I think Ancients mechanically and thematically go well with Lore. It seems like a lot going on personally, I would ditch warlock and dip into rogue for sneak attack if you really wanted to use rapier and be a conman type but even that feels like a big spread.

who is a
paladin?
its like designing an elven maiden ranger archer but then deciding to add 5 levels of monk just so you can do some hand to hand combat.

Am I missing something? You say Conquest Paladin at the top but then list yourself as taking Oath of the Ancients at level three.
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

I corrected it, should have been Ancients. The hexblade level is so I can use Cha as my attack stat and also get a ranged attack.
