[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 7169366, member: 92511"] I think everyone agrees that Divine Smite is something a Paladin should do/get. It's just a matter of how (mechanically it is incorporated) and how often. I think of it this way...and it boils down to making things make sense and seem "fair" to me (I won't get into a mathematical "balance" debate as that way lies madness)... Fighters: The "best at fighting," hit more often [B]and [/B]do more damage. Every other class flows from there. Barbarians: Hit harder, not necessarily as often. But generally speaking, they are doing more [consistent] damage. Rangers: Hit more often and do more damage...only against certain/specific foes, but at any time. Paladins: Hit more often and do more damage...against anyone, but only at certain [number of] times. Were there some "knight" or "cavalier" class all its own, I would say their built-in "fighting shtick" would be to hit more often, all of the time -and thus do more damage/keep in line with DPR expectations by hitting[B] more often[/B], but not have a specifically "damage-boosting" feature.
