[QUOTE="CubicsRube, post: 7746090, member: 6848185"] This is a long thread so I'm sure it's been said, but the only reason the paladin has been confibed to LG in the past is tradition. In earlier editions, you had to roll attributes in order and roll really well to just be able to play a paladin. It was the hardest class to get and it was objectively better. The LG requirement was meant to be a hindrance, a limiter. Now they are not as unbalanced a class, the redtriction makes no sense. In any case, I'm sad to say the armor broke the PF2 camel's back for me. Here's how i enivsage PF2 combat going: Tom, The ogre magr reaches out with a firey hand and strikes you! Is that touch ac or regular ac? I have poor quality chainmail, so it's a 5 -2, but i have a +3 for my proficiency. And i used my shield. Thats fine quality. Do i get the bonus for that for touch ac? So its a +3? And i have the heavily armored feat that gives me +1. And i can add my dex bonus, so another +1. And then has that buff worn off? Oh ok. And my level of course, so 5. So my touch ac is 10+5-2+3+1+1+5 so ... ummm 23? Ok that misses. Now sarah, the orc swings his axe at you! Is that touch ac or ac... Sorry all, I'm already running away screaming! [/QUOTE]
