My paladin is now level 4 and has 19 strength and 15 charisma. I know it is probably better to take the ability score increase and get another +1 on the majority of rolls I’ll be making but that’s just so boring!

I’m taking Shield Master instead.

Does anyone else have this conflict?

Most people seem to be misunderstanding. I don’t mind having to make “tough choices” in general, only when the obviously correct choice is boring and the suboptimal one is the cool fun one.

    We got a book off DM’s guild several years ago that was something like ‘Talents’, which were basically like a minor feat. Something like that would be cool to flavor in periodically.

    I have one that lets me add my Charisma bonus to smites.
