We kept the paladin as a fighter subclass and gave it weapon specialization. 2) The stupid code of chivalry.3) The Barbarian4) Pretty much anything else.5) Weapons vs ArmorThings we did not even tried as we laughed out our asses.1) The rolling method... But I know of tables that used it and it led to soooo many abuses and those that used the whole of the UA led to what I called the Lawful Stupid Paladin. Paladins became sooo common and sooo powerful that DMs all around tried to restrict them with lawful stupidness and a chivalry code so restricting that  playing a paladin was no longer fun and enjoyable. God, I saw a group of 4 with three paladins! I saw less than 10 paladins legally rolled in all my groups in 10 years of 1ed... It was very hard to roll one. That is what made the class so special and so powerful to begin with. The UA did a big disservice to my favourite class...</blockquote>
