Paladins are smite machines first and foremost, and smiting requires Strength. Charisma is to paladins as Wisdom is to monks, or Constitution is to just about everybody.Still not seeing it. If I were going to pick a "next most overpowered" stat on that list after Dex, it would be either Wisdom or Constitution. Wisdom is a major saving throw and it drives the most important skill in the game. Constitution is also a major save, it's vital to casters for Concentration checks, and everyone needs more hit points.Charisma is a minor save, and although the social skills are highly useful, the three of them together are not a match for Perception. And social skills are the only thing Charisma does for you if it isn't a class stat.After years of languishing as everybody's favorite dump stat, Charisma has finally emerged to take its rightful place among the six. Obviously that means it has improved relative to the other stats! It doesn't, however, mean that it's overpowered in an absolute sense.</blockquote>
