Do you hate having to pick between ability score increases and feats? (programming.dev)

My paladin is now level 4 and has 19 strength and 15 charisma. I know it is probably better to take the ability score increase and get another +1 on the majority of rolls I'll be making but that's just so boring!

I'm taking Shield Master instead.

Does anyone else have this conflict?

Most people seem to be misunderstanding. I don't mind having to make "tough choices" in general, only when the obviously correct choice is boring and the suboptimal one is the cool fun one.

although with a 19 you should definitely look into the half feats

19 STR and 15 CHA.

Take +1 to both.
