I have seen a lot of people talk about the ability of Paladins to do a pretty decent job of soloing, even if it can be slow, and I definitely want to be able to do the same. I do see myself grouping as much as possible (because its fun to spend time with others gamers), but yeah, once I get certain pieces of gear, I would like to solo some.

That's why I guess I'm just leaning into CHA as the secondary stat....to help make the solo aspect a little more safe whenever I do get the chance to do so.

Do you guys know of Dwarven Paladins who've done this successfully?

I read about all the other races who solo, I guess because they all have much higher starting CHA.

Does this mean that Dwarven Paladins need to give up that dream and just focus on group play?
Dwarf pally solo build can absolutely plow through content. They have all the tools you need to dungeon crawl if you can gear them properly. Despite all this CHA talk you ultimately still have root/lay hands/soulfire/DA to fall back on. It's really hard to die as a Pally. 5 AGI, 15 CHA is good option for a Dwarf. You really have to weight your gear options, if that extra 5 AGI makes you more comfy going to bed at night, go with it. However me personally I would go 20 CHA, since I have no problems making up the extra AGI while still wearing a fungi(which you can ditch at 45 for a DW bp) & lodi shield - which puts you at 55 AGI. Crown of narandi + barbed dragonscale pauldrons + seahorse belt = 76 AGI. Really depends on your level of twinkage you could also use the seahorse spine bracelet which comes with 5 str/5 AGI/10 CHA. People talking about the extra 5 for CRs & resists is very niche. I think statistically you're better off with more CHA on a CR vs having some extra AC trying to live naked when shit goes south(I use my rogue for CRs anyway, much more effective).

Either way it's a fantastic class and I'm sure you'll have a blast.
