[QUOTE="Nazhkandrias, post: 3391920, member: 50521"] I think that the only situation in having Paladin as a favored class is if you wanted to take like 3 levels of Cleric, then 20 levels of Paladin, you wouldn't be gimped the whole time. Of course, there are a few variant Paladin classes that allow multiclassing with certain other classes without losing ability to progress in levels. Perhaps that's why so few classes favor being monks and paladins - it doesn't serve much of a purpose. It's probably for flavor more than anything else. I know that the progression classes are small, they're really just there to offer players a way to play Aasimar and Drow and the like without an LA, thus allowing them to join the party at first level. Then, leveling up to full racial powers will take a bit longer, but it integrates itself well into gameplay. Still, they should add a note that says that "all progression classes are counted as favored classes (since they're not just favored by society, they're favored by very biology) and allow free multiclassing with Monk and Paladin (because multiclassing as a Paladin implies straying from the path, wheras progression levels are more like growing up)". Doesn't make a lot of sense, but it lets me play a LA +0 Aasimar, allowing me to play a good Paladin from first level with excellent role-playing capability. Still, I don't know - should I go with TRRW's version, or stick with the savage progression version? I'll probably get the DM to agree to let me take a progression level without losing ability to level as a Paladin - it makes more sense that way. As far as multiclassing goes - I'm pretty sure there are a few prestige classes out there that allow free multiclassing with Paladin. [/QUOTE]
