Redemption Paladin - how does it play?

[ProsecutorGodot]

What level did your Redemption Paladin get to? and what kind of games? I can't see it being satisfying in modules written by WoTC (combat is too often the only solution)

I'm still playing him, Roland Brakmore is currently 14th level, Redemption Paladin 12/Hexblade 2. Aura of Protection sees frequent use to maintain our Sorcerer's concentration on Haste.

I will say that opportunities to talk the NPC's we interact with down from combat is diminishing rather quickly. That's not much of an issue though, since the NPC's we're interacting with now are irredeemably evil.
