Feats are also optional rules as well and there is nothing stopping say an avenger Paladin using the exact same combo except they will deal 3d6 damage instead of 2d6 with that staff.My avenger Paladin won't win any damage dealing awards in 5E as I took inspiring leader and resilient as my feats. By level 6 though I will be giving everyone in the party an additional 10 temporary hit points and +4 on all saving throws (within 10' feet). Thats also why I don't rate the fighter that high either because one failed hold person spell and you are no a free critical hit target. On Sunday the rnager lead 100 odd refugees through a swamp at full speed. The highest level fighters are DPM machines but thats all they are and those builds often get hosed at range. Our ranger would just pull out a bow and make 2 attacks a round adding 1d6 on each attack, the Paladin would likely bless the ranged PCs or use moon beam. Paladin also found a succubus infiltrator using divine sense. You could go with a dex based fighter I suppose but dex based melee tends to be weak unless you are a rogue or a dex based ranger (hunter or tempest) it seems.  It seems marginal fighters actually deal more damage until level 11 and even then its not by a larege amount and even that is debatable as combat doesn't always take place in a 10' by 10' room.</blockquote>
