Including one that's named Holy Smite in what has to be the biggest troll job in table-top RPG history.Attack of Opportunity has more triggers, though. Fighters also have a much better selection of feats that have nothing to do with AoO, and its higher-level automatic features also aren't restricted to AoO.A lot of these (Retributive Step, especially) read like something that should probably be added to Retributive Strike by default.I wouldn't have minded Retributive Strike if it was a feat, but making it the defining Paladin feature and hinging two big other features on it and a whole bunch of class feats was definitely not the way to go. It shoehorns the Paladin into purely reactive gameplay, which is an inherently weaker way to play.</blockquote>
