My computer is a piece of junk, with a glitchy main programming. Tables cause the darn thing to crash

The first four levels are really bad, honestly. You get two domains at first level. That's it.

Poison resistance comes up rarely, and when it does, it usually doesn't matter that much.

Turning as anything lower than a cleric often ends with no turning at all.

Paladins get more than one aura, first of all, and getting an aura of evil at fourth level isn't exactly cool. It's basically a fluffy feature for first level.

I'd say filling it with more offensive capabilities at early levels could help.

What's the spellcasting progression (spells per day, etc.)?

Spells/day as a Paly, casting as a Bard

and at low-levels, its supposed to be Tank-y until you get Diabolical Strike
