Probably the best class in the game across all levels.I also would tone down their smite a bit - perhaps 1/turn - because they can burst damage way higher than their appropriate level, which makes any single big bad guy fighting them a wet paper towel. I've had a Paladin chew up Dragons, Balors, you name it by saving their high level smites for the big bad guy. A Paladin with Great Weapon Master is just scary. Their aura is also very powerful. Yes it does encourage players to 'clump up' a bit, but not every fight you have a fireball on hand to deal with that.Their weaknesses are really only their lack of ranged combat ability. I wouldn't even say saving throws are their weakness due to their aura. Due to their synergy with Charisma they also make great social characters too.In summary I don't think they need any buffs what so ever. If anything a bit of a nerf, however as is they are a very fun class to play.</blockquote>
