Hello,
The playgroup I'm in is playing through the Tyranny of Dragons Module, potentially starting in the Lost Mines of Phandelver module. We don't have a guarantee that we'll go to level 20, but there are strong hints that we might go to the Nine Hells to defeat Tiamat for good after the completion of the official story. I was originally going to play a hexblade/blood hunter, but while the flavor was good it statistically wasn't viable. Still wanting to play a hexblade I went back to the drawing board, and came up with this idea:
Daeren Kerramos, is a half drow holy knight of Eilistraee. On his holy quest he had a vision that a weapon made by Eilistraee was corrupted by Lolth and given to one of Tiamat's servants, the mighty greatsword "Transcendence" now known as "Hazirawn." What Daeren did not know that the vision he was given came from Lolth and while it is true that the sword was once made by Eilistraee, it is now a devout follower of the Matron of Spiders. By excepting this quest, Ser Kerramos has unknowingly made a pact with Lolth as she slowly tries to corrupt one of her daughter's most devout warriors.
We rolled for stats and my stats are in order as follows: 15, 12, 16, 13, 9, 19. These stats are locked in, they are nonnegotiable at this point. I want to take my first level in paladin, not just for roleplay reasons, but also for the heavy armor proficiency. Eventually I will be multiclassing into warlock for hexblade. I was wondering, how many levels I should put into paladin? If I do go enough levels deep into paladin to choose an oath, I will be taking the Oath of the Ancients since that matches best with Eilistraee. Any idea the best way to go about this while leveling up?
Thanks!
