The Oathbound Wall

Thordak is built as an anchor paladin — heavy armor, shield, and Compelled Duel to lock down the biggest threat on the battlefield. Lay on Hands and Shield of Faith keep him standing while the party does damage. Key combo: Compelled Duel + Shield of Faith on round 1, then Divine Smite on crits. Save spell slots for smites and emergency healing. Great for players who want to protect the party without just standing in one spot.
