If you multiclass at least 5 levels into Sorcerer, you can get Shadow Blade, which does ridiculous damage on it's own especially when upcast, but with Divine Smite, you kinda just... delete whatever you touch.
My most powerful PC was a Sorcadin,with the afromentioned Shadow blade+booming blade+smite...... It was glorious Yes i know that TECHNICALLY they don't work together but my DM allowed it
nah nah NAH u go warlock instead of sorcerer. metamagic is cool but not as cool as hexblade curse, using charisma instead of strength on weapons, 2 invocations, a pact boon, AND shadow blade
I remember playing as a dhampir paladin in a gothic campaign. My party was fighting against mutated vampire count and when im about to run out spell and my channel divinity is about to wear off, i slap my trusty silver sword with a level 3 divine smite. Im basically in the front, toe to toe with the bbeg, and surrounded by his vampire minions. After my turn came the sorcerer of my party. I said to her "Rain them down." And the sorcerer almost hesitated and reply "but you're in front." I reply again "Let them burn." The sorcerer starts droping fireball towards the bbeg and the minions. Since i have the shield master feat, i rolled nat20 in my dex save. I never felt so alive...

Ay homie, we wouldn't support as hard as we do if it wasn't top tier content. Talk about hitting the ground rolling, you definitely set your bar high. The fact that you decided to continue at that high bar, and engaing a community you probably didn't expect to immediately break into, despite probably slowing your upload schedule shows that you're dedicated, and you care. So we can care, and not feel bad 😉 keep it up!
As a WH40k Black Templar with a picture of Sigismund on my wall, Vengeance Paladin fits me nooice. SUFFER NOT THE HERETIC!!! FOR THE EMPEROR!!! Omg!!! 😱 i posted before the reinhardt, Reinhardt, REINHARDT clip. Insta subbed! The edits, memes in this vid are 💯 🔥 top shelf m8!!!
Get ready for some more positivity bitsh I haven’t seen D&D class content this good since the legendary A Crap Guide to D&D, and easily the best subclass series there is. You’ve more than earned our subs with your wit and editing skill, here’s to hopin’ you’ll get many more soon!
Recently played an Oath of Vengeance Paladin Hexblade multiclass and this video is pretty accurate. Its just nothing but stacking buffs and other ways to add damage on top one another until you fish into a crit and just splatter an enemy's guts all over their carpet. I even had boots of speed so with haste active I could and would be anywhere my team needed me and ensured that if I killed whatever I was fighting I could quickly move onto another victim.
Still want the “lore accord” to come to fruition but I can’t deny this video was amazing. As always, it gave me a much needed laugh at the end of a long day. Big congrats on the 10k and keep the solid material coming. You deserve the recognition for your hard work and dedication.
I personally allow all vengeance paladins to gain the spell "Fuck that one guy in particular" as a 1 a day class spell that can be cast through their slots
I am so pleased with YMBD's use of the SMITE joke. 😂 The only way I could see said jokes getting better is by making the words shake or move around instead of flash, as the oscillating lights kind of hurt my eyes when I look at them. But yeah, great video. Can't wait to see the next one!
I just pieced together a Fallen Aasimar Vengeance Paladin for a new game my friends and I are going to start soon. I normally play fairly basic classes, Rogue, Fighter, Wizard are my normal go too, but I wanted to try something different. I'm fairly excited to try this character out, I started D&D 20 years ago with 3.5 and often still think of the traditional Paladin and have often been annoyed by the newer Paladins with more flavor, but reading through the description and building one has my interest! Though I'm more of an RPer, I can't wait to experience the melee potential of this beast!
The one thing I always struggled with when using Paladin was the fact you just sorta feel like a lightly seasoned martial. You play like a burst martial but it requires you to exchange being able to do any of the neat things that spells allow you to do. I dunno, it just felt like there wasn’t a whole lot of flavor outside of channel divinity and smite, compared to wizard or bards who get all sorts of interesting spellcasting on top of subclass features.
The character I'm playing as in Curse of Strahd is a female headless Reborn(Yes I wanted to play as a Dullahan without having to homebrew) who happens to be a Oath of Vengeance Paladin with her backstory being after her and the noble family she belonged to the Ashland Family were wrongfully accused of a crime they didn't commit by a wicked rival family the Blackthorn Family and their allies they were wrongfully executed aka legal murder with her manner of murder being decapitation with as final insult the Blackthorn Family taking her head as a trophy and throwing her fresh headless corpse complete with signet ring, and scroll of pedigree in a ditch but unbeknownst to the Blackthorn Family and their allies before being beheaded she swore an oath of vengeance against the Blackthorn Family and their allies a oath that was heard by the Raven Queen who in exchange for becoming one of the goddess's eternal champions of vengeance against evil, raised her from the dead and gave her the power to take vengeance upon the Blackthorn Family, and their allies. Yes my main character inspiration was The Crow.
"I was supposed to be the edgy one! Why I am the only person in this group who sees something slightly wrong with the idea of genociding this tribe for trying to rob us? What's wrong with you, guys?!" (actually, I know the reason, but it's related to some pretty messed up out-of-game stuff I don't really want to talk about). To be honest, the oath of vengeance is a bit of a stretch for my character, it's just the only one I managed to connect with low-key anarchy (besides Ancients, but fey and ecoactivism were super out of place), and yes, it's super good.
Really love all your vids, this has been my new fave UA-cam channel! Shame about the advertising you just added, and that’s a dealbreaker for me unfortunately. Thanks, it’s been fun!
Bruh, ya gotta do soul knife rogue next and please tell me the truth on this If you dip into fighter, use the blades teleportation ability, use main, extra, action surge to teleport three times, is this actually possible to do?
Fighter/Paladin is one of the best multiclasses in D&D. 10 levels in Champion Fighter and 10 levels in any Paladin subclass gives you 3 basic actions, 3 fighting styles, an improved critical, half your proficiency bonus to strength rolls, healing abilities, smites, action surge and a bunch more. Just so good!
A.) *worn. Maybe learn to spell before you call others stupid... idk just a thought. B.) Cry more? Which one triggered you the most sweetie? It's ok, I'm sure there's a hate group you can slither back to.
UA-camrs try not to act like smites are better than casting spells as a paladin challenge (actually impossible) I get its a meme but like... its a meme bc ppl actually do this and then new players dont realize they are not actually supposed to do it and they do it too. Cast spells pallys i beg you. If you use command to make the enemy flee then you get to smite on your oppurtunity attack, and the rogue next you gets to use sneak attack on their attack of oppurtunity, and the enemy doesnt get a turn if it lives. Bless usually adds more damage to a combat than any single smite. Aid is a rly good all day buff and a good way to pick up multiple party members in a bad situation. Watching pallys blow all of their spell slots in one fight is wild bc after thay ur like a glorified fighter the rest of the day.
Favorite line I saw a player use as a Vengeance Pally "that's big talk from someone in Smite range."
I laffed 😂😂😂
xD
Remember, against an oath of vengeance paladin, you are never NOT in smite range.
I heard "Avenging angel" and was ready for "Angel with a shotgun" before remembering I wasnt listening to Pointy Hat
Time to be Batman while screaming “I AM VENGEANCE”
I am the knight
That's how I described this class to a friend, Batman in plate armor

Three levels. Shadow Blade is second level.
@@marbled31 Oh doi! Don't know why I keep thinking it's 3rd level. My bad.
My most powerful PC was a Sorcadin,with the afromentioned Shadow blade+booming blade+smite......
It was glorious
Yes i know that TECHNICALLY they don't work together but my DM allowed it
nah nah NAH u go warlock instead of sorcerer. metamagic is cool but not as cool as hexblade curse, using charisma instead of strength on weapons, 2 invocations, a pact boon, AND shadow blade
And this is why I always remind my players that multi classing is an optional rule. And I ban it at every opportunity.
Am still mad at people not respecting the agreement of voting bard after monk. You guys are bunch of oathbreakers
Right here with ya, dude. But it was still a great video. Maybe we can get the astral monk and lore bard folks to unite the next time around.
Same, but hey, looks like it's finally bard's turn! As far as I saw on the vote so far...
When Vengeance isnt a motivation, but a lifestyle
Edit: i love the running "whatever spells are" gag.
Almost applies to Warlocks too!
Except for eldritch blast.

Currently playing a vengeance paladin while only knowing the mechanics, but somehow my character fits into every one of these personality traits.
been here since bladesinger and its only gotten better keep it up man this is my favorite dnd content
Inigo Montoya is a Dex based Dex Vengeance paladin!
I personally allow all vengeance paladins to gain the spell "Fuck that one guy in particular" as a 1 a day class spell that can be cast through their slots
"How in the blood soaked protestant hell did he do that??"
"Fuck you, that's how."
Oh man, I've just discovered the oath of vengeance and found your page while researching on UA-cam,im subscribing!
I just never get tired of this series! I wanna see the Whisper Bard next!
I found you recently, and you seem to be touching on the subclasses I'm learning about recently, so this is perfect! I think I will subscribe!
Ayyy thanks Obvious Mimic for sponsoring this! I just bought your PDF and I'm super excited!
"F that guy in particular" IS a homebrew spell and it's hilarious.
I am so pleased with YMBD's use of the SMITE joke. 😂

May you please make an Oath of Conquest subclass guide please. I also love your channel and you are extremely under rated.
My favorite Oath of my favorite class. I’ve played three Vengeance Paladins at this point, and they’ve all been absolutely awesome!
I laughed out loud at every 'whatever those are...' 😂
Good stuff.
Congratulations on 10k man! You deserve it. Looking forward to the next video.
Congrats on 10K!
Thank you!!
Love the oath of vengeance; just fantastic. Oath of conquest is pretty great too.
As a Paladin main I approve
Great vid as always man, looking forward to learn what's the next one
This video was sick! BIG congrats on 10,000 my man :)

Guts is nice, but you might also have some inspiration to take from Gotz of the iron hand.
you should totally cover the drakewarden ranger! regardless, loving the content!
Oathbreaker Paladin pls
I think jocat wants his smite back.
I'm definitely a vengeance paladin #CompellDuel and walk past everyone until I reach my target? Yes please
I know it is not the "intent" but Relentless Avenger is a GREAT kiting ability, especially with polearm master.
Oath of Conquest is a close second if not it’s equal in power.
The matrons chosen,reaper of the dead and ceaseless end of the undead:am i joke?
Rip Teddy Kacyznski the OG Vengeance Paladin
These videos are dangerous because I want to. Do. Them. All.
Ordered Wolves of Langston!
Kinda wish their last feature boosted damage or paralyzed creatures instead of running them out of smiting distance.
This would be my character on BG3, with dueling feats, holding a spear and a shield hehehe

Do i already know everything about the Vengeance subclass? Yes
Am i gonna watch the video anyways? Absolutely
I hope he does oath of devotion next
My like just made it go from 1.2 to 1.3 . . I've never seen the number go up past 1k . . Oh and the video was amazing too 🤣🤣
Sounds like heavy armor won’t slow you down
I was not disappointed.

I mean maybe? The peak example if vengeance paladin is like the punisher
have you mentioned the ability to use SMITE
Oath of Ancients?

What attacks can the bad guys do from the grave? None!

SMITE!!!
Why does he keep asking what spells are
Bc its a running joke in the DnD community that Paladins never use their spell slots to cast real spells, and instead only use them for Smite.

This was grate
Just popping in to say I thought the thumbnail said Degeneracy paladin. I feel cheated! xD
