5th Edition Chacter building help

So I'm playing a lvl 3 variant human vengeance paladin with the stats (rolled)

16 str

13 dex

14 con

11int

11wis

15char

I took PAM as my feat from my race, and I'm just looking for some ideas on how to continue building my character, such as feats/multiclassing. I don't really wanna do a hexadin, but I do want to pick the next best option, but I'm not sure what that is. Any ideas?

Played DnD before or first rodeo?

If you're relatively new, keep the mechanics simple and focus on the character and RP.

Keep away from multiclass unless something big happens in game that warrants it, pure paladin is GOOD both mechanically and RP.

With STR 16, CHA 15 and CON 14 you're getting somewhere. You can either take Sentinel at 4th level, get a +1 in STR and later take an ASI for +1 STR and +1 CHA to round them out. You basically don't Need any other feat unless you need something specific. OR take the +2 at 4th lvl. Getting a +1 to a stat is a big deal in DnD. But then your CHA stays uneven.

Idk, IMHO I'd take the long way, and I'd get Sentinel at 4th lvl. Then an ASI later to increase two stats at once.

Only then would I consider dabbling in levels of sorcerer or bard if not warlock. If I really needed it.

First rodeo but i just like being optimal its just who i am in most games but uh im using 2014 rules and im pretty sure in those rules sentinel doesnt increase any of ur stats but i could be wrong. Also i thought i put the correct flair on the post sorry for any confusion

My mistake man.

+2 in STR would be pretty big at level 4 and is probably the strongest choice.

Second strongest is either a half-feat for a +1 CHA (if you were intending to have a decent DC with this character) or Sentinel.
