    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.
