I've always seen it as a martial vs. spellcasting sort of issue, hence would be happy seeing clerical melee abilities toned down. However..What if Paladins explicitly refused to worship a single god? Yes, there are lawful good deities whose teachings agree with their philosophy, but there are often more than one with relevant spheres of influence. If instead Paladins drew their power from within, from the very literal goodness inside them, then to dedicate to a single god would deny the potential of (demi-)humanity to be good and do good. This would set up an interesting conflict and separation between the clergy and paladins, and the latter would become champions of ANY good, rather than just Lawful Goodnessness.</blockquote>
