Sounds like all's well that ends well. Glad to hear it

Keep living your best life.

I'd have suggested playing a commoner, "Philbert the Paladin". He'd be a farm boy with INT 3 and WIS 3 who believes he's destined to become a paladin, and who tries to do all the things he thinks paladins should do.

Jump out and challenge the troll to single combat when the party wants to hide.
Insist on negotiating for the party.
Try to arrest everyone in the tavern who has a weapon.
Insist that the king lower taxes, or you'll try him for treason and replace him with a honest king.

Each time he gained a level, you should ask the DM, "Can I take a level of paladin now?"

It would either be hilarious, or he'd die quickly. Either way, you win.

My suggestion would be to play a joke character. It's obvious that this character is going to get his **** rocked the moment he steps into battle. So why not have as much goofy fun as you can before you inevitably get turned into meat paste.

Good on you for walking away from that. Life's too short to be spent on games you know you won't have fun with.
