I leveled up my character in doomsday dawn from 1 to 9.
At level 1 I had 3 types of reactions. Ancient's blood (dwarf), Shield block and Retributive strike.
And I felt like I had 2 few reactions in a turn to use my abilities. I think 2 reactions would have been the right amount. So you can block an attack or block 2 times and so on.
At level 9 I will also have Attack of opportunity and Divine ward.
So a total of 5 and I can still only use one/turn.
I can get more reactions at level 16 and 20 from fighter multiclass.
The paladin is a reactive class that doesn't have enough reactions to use half it's featured.
One fix for this could be given extra reactions based on how many reactions you can do in a turn.
1 reaction abilety = 1 reaction/turn
3 reaction abilety = 2 reaction/turn
5 reaction abilety = 3 reaction/turn
7 reaction abilety = 4 reaction/turn
and so on.
Some reactions might need to be limited to 1/turn/. Like shield of reckoning.
Should be a general feat!
that would also work but, then you can't get it before level 3.
More then 2-3 could be really strong however. One extra is probably strong but not TOO overpowering but it would need testing.

If you do more then one retributive strike there could be an attack penalty. Same with AOO.
could also have it so you can only do max 1 of every type in a turn except if you have one of the fighter feats.

Retributive strike is really good if it procs.
And a General Feat to get an exra reaction... Could be good. Say,
Reactive (feat 7)
Prerequisite: Dex14
You gain an additional reaction every turn. This cannot be used for an action you already took since the start of your last turn.
That way it's adequately high level, and limited to only be used by characters with a large amount of reaction abilities.
Yeah. I would like to see a general feat that allows multiple reactions each round.
I would think something along the lines of Combat Reflexes from previous versions. You can use multiple reactions each round, but only up to your dex modifier. I would also limit it to one reaction of each type each round.
I could also see it as a +1 reaction per round instead of going all the way up to your dex mod.
