[QUOTE="kitcik, post: 5504643, member: 98256"] Melee classes are underpowered in comparison to full casters. Paladins (and fighters and monks, among others) are underpowered in comparison to good melee classes. If your Paladin is not vastly underpowered, such that he feels like he is under-contributing to the party, compared to the casters in your group, that says something about the casters in your group. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing - if it works for you, everyone is happy, and the DM scales down challenges appropriately, a balanced party including Paladins is a good thing. Just to show that I am not being sarcastic about that, let me say that my current party's power rankings are as follows: 1) 7th level monk 2) 6th level TWF ranger 3) 7th level bard 4) 4th level ranger / 2nd level wizard 5) 7th level druid Clearly, there is some odd "optimization" going on, but it works for us & we are all enjoying the campaign.
