I see what everyone is saying.  I just don't think it makes internal sense from a realism aspect (paladins get to ignore Str/Con requirements that the rest of the universe has to abide by because they're paladins?), and I'm concerned that it might be tweaking some rules if the Str/Con requirement was placed there for balance reasons (to force everyone in the 13 ability range like they do for spell casters and not min/max everything into just one score without significant drawbacks).</blockquote>
