[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 1514391, member: 533"] You should take that One-A-Day pill that helps your memory. Just kidding. :D The Extra Stunning feat made no special mention that the monk can take it without meeting the prereqs (BAB +2, Stunning Fist). The duration and number of use per day increase a lot but the benefit is minimal (the bonuses only directly increase the ability scores, not the ability score modifier). In the meantime (at least for barbarian of 16th level or lower), you suffer the negative side effect of your rage, which will require rest (a lazy barbarian) or the aid of a cleric (a co-dependent barbarian). So by 6th level, he has 4 smites per day, with the benefit of adding his Cha bonus with either Str bonus or Dex bonus to his attack roll and deal out +6 extra points of damage. Oh, and he does not get fatigued at the end of combat. You mean, combat-wise, the paladin is probably not the best. But overall, he has other abilities in which he excels better than either a barbarian or a monk. Spells which he can access by 4th level. Turn Undead ability which he can use Divine Might feat (assuming there is a free feat slot to fill). Aura of Courage will make him immune to fear, where a barbarian may flee in terror (unless the co-dependent barbarian stick close to the paladin to receive some advantage to his saving throw).
