[QUOTE="TheGizzard, post: 4495252, member: 78068"] OK, thanks for the feedback; I'm still trying to get a handle on 4E Paladins, so all feedback is useful. Well, truly, I've given it some thought over the last couple sessions. ;-) But if a character switch is a good idea, my question there is: "is a STR Paladin a just a weaker/harder class than the Fighter?" (Is the Paladin the Monk/Bard of 4E?) Or is it that the Fighter might fit my play-style better? (Honestly, the character I am envious of is the Cleric-Ranger hybrid who can heal like crazy and always seems to have lots of options to help the party. The Paladin seems kind of limited compared to him.) These are the things I have been wondering also; whether I made mistakes in those particular choices. (Except Javelins, which I have but did not bother to list. Yay +STR throwing weapons!). The point of the Long Spear and the Fast Runner was to try to offset the Dwarven 5 base speed. I cannot tank if my strikers keep outrunning me. But this mobility comes at a price; no +3 prof weapon, and a feat which could have been spent on Toughness or Weapon Proficiency. I wondered if anyone would comment on having 31 HPs; and the syngergy with Toughness. But it seems people are looking at my low attack bonus as a primary problem; I'll take a look at what I can do to improve that; either by re-adjusting my stats (but what stat to sacrifice?!) or by getting a Weapon Profiency type feat.
