Stats for Sorc/Paladin?

[Agent Chieftain]

At this point, I'm committing to the idea of a of going Draconic Bloodline (gold or red) Oath of Vengeance Sorc/Paladin, with a sword and shield. But I'm still not fully sure on what my stats for that should look like. Current idea is something like this, since I need both a high charisma and strength, but would like some input.

Str: 16 (+2)
Dex: 10
Con: 14
Int: 8
Wis: 10
Cha: 16 (+1)

The devs have said they want you to experiment with multi-classing. So I assume they've balanced the game around being able to do that.

Why not just take Minthara as a companion and make her a Paladin/Warlock? She has crazy high stats.

I never played a sorcadin but its a popular build. Those stats are fine, +3 in str and cha and +2 in con. From my understanding you get the utility of a sorcerer and get a lot of extra spells lots to smite. I could picture a lot of ways to do the level spread and when, I am not sure whats the best I would look something up.

If you take Paladin first.

Remember, Paladins are all about Strength, Wisdom and Charisma. Not Constitution.


Str: 16
Dex: 10
Con: 13
Int: 10
Wis: 14
Cha: 15

Or

Str: 16
Dex: 9
Con: 13
Int: 9
Wis: 14
Cha: 16


-Paladins primary ability is Strength, their saving throw proficiencies are Wisdom & Charisma.

-Sorcerers primary ability is Charisma, their saving throw proficiencies are Constitution & Charisma.

I'm probably going to start sorc first, but reclass later to put Paladin first to get the heavy armor proficiency.

Paladin/Sorcer is one of the best possible multiclasses in D&D 5e, you just can't go wrong no matter your subclass choice. Usually we start with Paladin to get weapon/Armor prof.

Your stats are looking good. While WIS is one of your saves, CON will always be a good choice, since it's direct tied to your HP, and Paladins are melee frontline characters (not very good tanks, but melee nonetheless).

Most people either go Paladin 2/Sorcerer 5+ (Sorc focus after Pal divine smite is acquired) or Paladin 6/Sorc 3+ (to get extra atack and aura).

Starting with Sorc is really not ideal.

I decided to start sorc as more of a roleplay choice, as it didn't really make sense multi classing into dragon ancestry. Heard it takes a little while to find heavy armor anyway, so I thought I'd just make use of the natural draconic armor class.

And from what I've heard, you can re-select what your starting class is, so I figured I'd just switch them around down the line for the armor proficiency.

Hey, it's not like I'm going to be sub-optimal forever. :P A little bit of video game mechanic abuse, and I'll respec my guy into Paladin first, Sorc second.
