What is the best level split for a
0:02
paladin warlock in D and D 5e?
0:04
Specifically the 2024 rules. The answer,
0:07
as always, is it depends. If you're
0:10
primarily playing a paladin and you want
0:12
a couple of warlock levels for things
0:14
like divine smite and stuff like that,
0:16
you may be fine with one or two levels.
0:19
One really doesn't get you a lot.
0:20
Although, pack of the blade is really
0:22
appealing because now you can do an all
0:24
charisma paladin with all paladin, one
0:26
warlock. If you go two levels, you'll
0:29
get two spell slots and you'll get some
0:31
extra Eldrich invocations, which is
0:33
really fantastic. Offers you a ton of
0:35
great options there. If you go three
0:37
levels, you get a subclass. The subasses
0:40
don't offer like a ton for the paladin,
0:43
but you might find something
0:44
specifically useful to your build, and
0:46
there are some cool combos there. Also,
0:48
your warlock spell slots get to level
0:49
two, which means your divine smite will
0:51
do more damage, and that's awesome. If
0:53
you're playing primarily a warlock, how
0:55
much paladin do you want? Probably not a
0:58
lot. Maybe two levels at most uh for
1:00
fighting style, armor proficiencies, low
1:03
those low-level spells, things like
1:05
that. But for the most part, if you're
1:07
building a marshall warlock, you
1:10
probably want to go single class or
1:12
maybe start with one level in fighter so
1:14
you can get proficiency in constitution
1:16
saves and maintain concentration more
1:18
easily. In general, I wouldn't go like
1:21
Warlock with a Paladin dip, but
1:24
definitely Paladin with a Warlock dip.
1:27
Very classic. still works for a lot of
