I am an oath of Vengance paladin. I am the front line tank. I have a "co tank" of a forge cleric, then the rest of my party is ranged
Currently stats are 16 str, 16 con, 14 cha, 12 wis, 10 intel, and 8 dex. I'm in full plate with 22 AC because of items and buffs. I also have the shield master feat as I use a longsword and shield almost exclusively. Fighting style is Dueling so I can do a little more consistent damage without having to burn spellslots on smite, so they can be used for CC.
I am trying to decide what to do for my level 8 ability score increase. My options I am thinking about are...increasing my Cha to 16 so my CC spells are better and my aura gives more for saves. Increase my con to 18 for more health...
Or I could take a feat. The 2 I am looking at are Heavy Armor Master or Tough
Tough is rarely a bad choice for a Paladin. A CHA increase is also never a bad choice. If your focus is not damage with your co tank then take the CHA increase.

Thoughts from the masses?
Like I said in your other thread +2 to CHA.
Tough is rarely a bad choice for a Paladin. A CHA increase is also never a bad choice. If your focus is not damage with your co tank then take the CHA increase.
