[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7272881, member: 6795602"] Paladins aren't the highest damage dealer. They aren't the best healer. They aren't the best at charisma skills. They aren't the best at utility. They can't take the most damage. They do have really good saves. However they do solid damage. Probably tier 2 damage with the ability to do tier 1 damage for a combat or 2 per day. (Many campaigns only have 1-3 combats per day...). In those campaigns he would consistently be a tier 1 damage dealer. He's a tier 3 healer. Lay on hands is great. Spell slots can be used for healing if required. He's tier 3 at charisma skills. He's tier 3 at utility. He's tier 3 at hp (aka taking a hit) He's tier 1 at saves. In more broad terms: because of his hp, saves and healing abilities he is very survivable. He's very good at damage and even more so in lower encounter per day games. He has above average utility between spells and charisma skills. That's why people think he is very strong [/QUOTE]
