[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 2628564, member: 5890"] In order for a paladin to do decent damage, he should have good strength. It's not essential though - he can just pick up a nice big weapon and do his thing that way. To cast spells, he needs a moderate wisdom. He should avoid a bad con, but his d10 hit die means it's not a massive issue. He should try to have a good charisma, but if he doesn't, it's not that big a deal. He can slap on a suit of armour and go at it, and that means that his dex won't help him a huge amount past about 13. It's nice to have skills, but a paladin doesn't rely on them too much, so a low int doesn't really hurt. In order for a monk to do decent damage, he NEEDS strength. In order for him to have a combat-worthy AC, he NEEDS wisdom and dexterity. In order for him to compete with other frontline classes, he NEEDS constitution. In order for him to complement the rogue at sneaking - dex again. In fact, just about all he doesn't need is charisma. This isn't really a problem with MAD. It's a problem with monks sucking.
