Just to chime in on the Warlock-Paladin Multiclass:
There are a lot of ways to justify that in narrative:
1) The Pact with the Patron was made unwillingly and the Oath of the Paladin is a try for redemption
2) Not all Paladins have to be pure goodness: a Paladin can have sworn the Oath of Vengeance to avenge their child who'd been killed by bandits. They wouldn't even have to be part of an Order of Paladins
3) Paladins in 5e are not bound to a deity, but their Oath. You could be a warlock for i.e. a fiend and then swear an Oath to them to vanquish their foes.
4) I once saw a Paladin who was part of an order where every higher ranking officer was given a magical weapon and made a Pact with the Raven Queen to enhance their bond with that weapon.
5) For a more supportive type a Paladin could also make a Pact with a celestial, which would also get around the evil part.
These are just some possible things.
Also DeJoker I'd love to play with you some day! Right now I don't want to take the spot from Gnellson, especially since it is their first game!

I'm interested. I'm new to GP so it would be my first. I'd like to play an entertainer/fighter trying to make it into his own song.
