Hi everyone, I am playing in a 2/3 shot mini campaign. It's a sequal on another lvl 20 one-shot we did two weeks ago. The first session is next week in my birthday and I start with four legendary items.
To be precise, it's the death knight set (long sword, full plate, shield and helm) from artifacts of the guild. This is a homebrew book you can buy. The set gives you many goodies, to name a few: resistance to non-magical dmg, darkvision (like devil's sight), smite ability for necrotic damage.
Since my first character was a Conquest Paladin, I immediatly thought about building a oathbreaker. However, there a lot of overlap. The 15th ability is useless. Furthermore, double smite is nice, but you need spell slots. The level 20 ability is meh.
To continu my search, I ended up with oathbreaker 7 and hexblade 1/2 (for advantage on concentration checks). Since I use a one handed weapon, lvl 3 is not needed. Also level 5 for triple smite!! Is fun, but too not needed. Sooo, what to do?
I can rebuild my entire character. I looked at sorcerer, but I don't see a perfect fit. Usually you go 6/14 or 2/18, it's a shame to lose the juicy 14th lvl abilities. And even if i go sorcerer, should it be shadow? I don't know.
The other option i see is bard. Perhaps wisper or valor, but a death knight bard? It just doenst feel right.
Other choice are necromancny wizard, war wizard, blade singer, death cleric, grave cleric. Sure they all have their perks, but i just can't decide.
To give some direction, it's a bad ass death knight that deals lots of necrotic damage and smites people. I have EA, sentinal feat, 20 Charisma and 16 Strength. Obviously in full plate and shield. If you have any good tips, I'm all ears!
