honestly, I'm just hoping at some point for a mod that just changes paladins to be more cleric-like, gives them the cleric tags for dialogue options or something.
I eventually did a Paladin playthrough in Early access, couldnt stand no deity choice though. But thankfully, found a mod that had copied over deity choice from cleric. Furthermore it said Paladin of Tyr, Paladin of Tymora, Paladin of Lolth etc. (depending what deity choice in character creation), in the dialogue choice, instead of cleric of so and so.
So it will be modded in pretty quickly after full release, if Larian dont come to their senses and adds it themselves that is.
At that point you are playing a super homebrewed cleric, not a paladin though.
You should try a war cleric sound like what you are trying to play.
I have played D&D since 2010, and DMed for the past 4, I know what a War Cleric is, and I know what a Paladin is. I have played both actually. War Cleric in Tiamat Campaign up to lvl 16 and Paladin with Oath of the Crown, dedicated to Tyr to lvl 12 in Phandalin/Homebrew/Curse of Strahd/Against the Giants campaign.
You and I have been over this topic plenty already either in this thread or another already N7Greenfire, lets not go down that road again. We fundamentally disagree on this topic is a polite way of saying it
.
All I need say is this.
5E SCAG: "In the Forgotten Realms, MOST Paldins, like Clerics, are devoted to a deity". And the same section goes into how deities make devout Warriors into Paladins.
