I've played Nimble at two different tables in the last ten days. Why on earth would you assume otherwise? You don't even know me.
In any case, my point is still valid. The abilities you mention don't come online until subclass choice at level 3 so that still means that for two levels the...
It's kind of contrary to how I think of paladins, which is as protectors of their allies. Instead, this ability actually encourages monsters to attack the paladin's buddies instead of the paladin. That seems a bit odd.

I just read the entry for Redcap in 13th Age Bestiary, and yeah...that entire write-up is money, top to bottom. Their powers, the description, the background, the plot hooks, and even their relationships with the Icons. Just awesome, inspiring stuff. It reminds me of Monster Overhaul, which is...

"Most leading gamers claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys. But this didn't stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme for his best selling book, Well That About Wraps It Up For 5e."
I'm not exactly answering the question, but I want to say it's a blast playing low-intelligence characters. One of the unsung benefits of random stats (as Crom intended) is that you can get wretched rolls, which opens up all kinds of roleplaying opportunities. If you've never played a barbarian...
"The original 1979 edition of Puppy-Kicking Racists Are The Heroes was a seminal publication in the history of Dungeons and Dragons. In order to ensure it's properly preserved, we've entered a licensing deal with the reanimated corpses of Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin, and the guy who shot Uncle Ben."...
