Does a paladin's daily require him to drop his sword?

[inkmonkeys]

Why would you design a class that has to gimp itself in combat to use its own defining class power? That would be short sighted.

I surely wouldn't.

 

[Patlin]

I surely wouldn't.

And by extension, neither would your coworkers.

 

[Surgoshan]

Wouldn't a daily power be more likely to be used toward the beginning of a very difficult combat? Therefor the paladin onpainofdeaths a dragon or some such then draws his sword and goes in swinging.
