Breaking Expectations: Arcane Paladin in D&D 5e

[elwoodkwilson]

I return to explore a unique character concept: the Arcane Paladin, a mage who embodies many paladin traits and excels at them.

Race: Eladrin Elf
Stats: 9, 14+2, 14, 13+1, 14, 8
Class: War Magic Wizard 20

Level 1: Uses Two-Weapon Fighting (TWF) with a short sword or long bow for ranged attacks. Mage Armor level 16 AC and False Life provides around 14 HP (8 true + temporary).

Level 2: Your Initiative increases to +5, increasing your tactical options.

Really interesting! The idea of ​​turning Wizard 20 into an Arcane Paladin is quite unique. Are you using Bladesinger or some feats like War Caster to support TWF? I'm curious how you handle the low health compared to a traditional Paladin, especially when getting close to combat.
