Do you need a high ability score to be a Paladin?
Paladins aren’t that MAD. CHA and CON are always nice to have but you don’t need a high score in either one to be effective. Paladins already have the second highest hit die in the game, heavy armor, spell slots and a separate pool of free healing, so it’s not like their CON has to be super high to stay alive in melee range.
What does con do on Level 4 Paladin?
CON helps with your hp as it is retroactive (meaning you recalculate your max hp with the new +2 CON bonus) which means you get 4 more hp at level 4 With great power comes absolute corruption. by adding 1 to both your CHA and CON would get you a bonus of +1 in CHA and bring your CON up to +2
Can a Paladin save for 1 / 2 damage?
Obviously you’d rather save for 1/2 damage, but at least it won’t be a save-or-suck effect like something that targets WIS. Dexadins can work, but they don’t synergize well with a lot of your features. You can’t smite with a ranged attack. Many smite spells (but not all) require melee attacks.
What do you need to be a Paladin in 5e?
In 5e, you generally always need primary/combat stat, a secondary/utility stat, and Con. The Paladin gets heavy armor and has a melee focus, meaning he really only needs one of Str or Dex– you can have offense and defense and good saves either way.
