I'm not certain whether this thread belongs here or in advice. I decided to place it here because it contains spoilers for WotR.
Our characters have just finished killing a bunch of cultists. After killing the leader, we found the key to the lock box that contains the sword Radiance.
My character, a half-orc lore oracle who worships Shelyn, happens to be the only religious character in our merry little band. When I examined the sword, I received a vision from Shelyn asking me if I was willing to bear the mantle of one of her holy champions. I accepted and leveled up in paladin, while Radiance morphed into a glaive.
Now I'm kind of torn. I like the role-playing aspect of becoming a paladin; my oracle is a former shaman who is deeply spiritual, and so the opportunity to serve one of the Great Ones (gods) directly is pleasing. It's the mechanics that I'm having trouble with.
I'm not certain if I should just take a couple of levels of paladin and then continue on as an oracle, or if I should just level up as a paladin from now on. When I made the character, I never intended on him multiclassing; as the parties only healer and divine caster, I didn't want to nerf myself by taking multiple classes. But now, through roleplaying, I did just that.
So, what do you think i should do? Paladin dip or oracle dip? And why?
Take at least one more level as a Paladin, your saving throws will appreciate it. ^^
Ha, that goes without saying. I'll at least take a second level of paladin. Divine Grace is hard to pass up.
Mechanically speaking, you'd probably only want to do the two level dip into Paladin if you still want to get access to 9th level spells as an Oracle(It is widely known that this AP should take you to 20th Level 10th Tier(or at least I think it is)).

Mr. Jacobs has confirmed that this WILL bring characters all the way to 20th level / 10th tier.
My suggestion also, if it feels right for the character, is to transition back to Oracle after your second level of paladin. Since you are a Charisma-based caster your saves and whatnot will still improve plus you get the weapon and armor proficiencies and lay on hands for a tad more healing.
