[QUOTE="Hejdun, post: 4688115, member: 839"] As with all dual-ability classes, it's best to choose one ability and ignore the other. In reality, the Paladin has two distinct paths you can go down. There are several problems with this approach, like one path being significantly better than the other in marking. Secondly, there are several levels at which there are no Str-based powers, which seems to be a rather large oversight. But really, the biggest problem with the Paladin is that it has some rather pitiful powers. Even before Martial Power, the fighter had 2nd level utility powers that were head and shoulders above what the Paladin got. The good thing is that there's a good prospect that Divine Power will un-gimp the Paladin. With some feats to help even out the paths (i.e. perhaps allow Chaladins to use Charisma for melee basic attacks, or Straladins to use Strength with their mark) and more powers to choose from, they can significantly improve. The core of the class is mostly solid, it's just the powers that need some work. [/QUOTE]
