I'm playing a 2024 Paladin in a campaign that's set to go to level 12. We rolled for stats, and at level 4, I'm sitting at STR: 16, DEX: 12, CON: 14, INT: 8, WIS: 12, and CHA: 14. CHA was originally 13, but I took Skill Master at level 4 to bump it up.
A part of me really wants to take the Sentinel and Shield Master feats at levels 8 and 12, since my Paladin uses a warhammer and a shield, but I'm wondering if I'd be shooting myself in the foot down the line by not boosting my CHA as high as possible for my aura and spell save DC.
What do you guys think, can I get away with leaving it as is and going for the feats, or is it better to go all in on the aura? It's my first time playing a Paladin in any edition, so I'm not sure which way to go.
