[QUOTE="Xeviat, post: 7557585, member: 57494"] I can definitely see "mechanically" why a full class would help bring this to life. Giving the Fighter EK an ability to burn spell slots for other little effects would have been another way to do it, instead of the War Magic feature we got. I'd still like to know why they're different from someone who is just a Fighter/Wizard. It probably doesn't need to be too big of a thing, because the Paladin doesn't have too much story that separates them from a Fighter/Cleric. Heck, I used to support the "Prestige Paladin" back in 3E. This MIGHT go back to highlighting the problem with Fighters; fighters are really a catch all for everyone who isn't one of the other classes. It lacks identity of its own, and thus it's the class to add ontop of anyone who is learning more about general warrior stuff. [/QUOTE]
