[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8524750, member: 63508"] The Eldritch Knight is a 1/3 caster. The Paladin and Ranger are 1/2 casters. Let's say we made a Paladiny subclass of the fighter: the Astral Weapon (stealing from 4e) First we would have to decide which major class feature to [B]lose. [/B]Most subclasses give you 1-2 features at low levels. And you get your 3rd at level 7: Lay on Hands Channel Divinity Divine Smite Auras Spellcasting Let's say you choose Auras and CD. No Auras of Protection nor Courage. No Channels. Second we would have to decide which 2 major class features to [B]nerf.
