Vengeance Paladin Build - Optimized
Playing CoS soon, don't know too much about it other than vampires. Going to play a Vengeance Paladin, frontline damage oriented. Party will have a cleric and a dex distance fighter as well.
As of now I am thinking:
Eladrin (fun thematically, plus 2/1 stat boost and feystep)
Stats (without boost): 16, 13, 16, 10, 15, 16.
Thinking of adding +2 to strength and maybe the +1 to Charisma or Wisdom.
Taking Persuasion, Intimidation, Deception, Insight (Faction Agent Background).
Is a 2h weapon and GWF my best option? I was thinking the Maul (bludgeoning, less resistances than the greatsword's slashing. I'll have a longsword as a back up since I get two martial weapons.
I am considering the DBS but as a strength based build, because I won't have room for a bunch of extra feats by the end of the campaign (I think it goes to 10).
Thoughts?
Thanks!
