I'm not saying 3E didn't have superhero-ish characters (it did, later on), but Paladin wasn't one of them.I mean jeez, there are plenty of Marvel and DC superheroes with lesser powers than that, and that's not even getting into Aquaman-land. For my money, and apparently that of others like Celtavian, the feel is into the "spandex and laserbeams" land, rather than "sharp steel and brave hearts" land.Ipissimus - Yeah, I can buy the "Jesus is making him hit me!" angle with that power, the power itself just seems a little lame and/or OP/abuse-able. As for more powerful than lightning bolt? Yeah, I'd say so. It's usable at will, whereas it's unlikely lightning bolt or fireball will be anything other than daily.Shielding smite just sucks. It makes sense as an ability you could use 1/encounter, y'know, get Jesus to put a shield on your buddy, but to link it to an attack? I mean what? Do you have to bet Jesus that if you'll hit the opponent, and if you're right, he has to put a shield on them? That's just silly.</blockquote>
