This isn't a balance houserule as much as it a different option for those who want a different flavor of game.
The concept is simple, classes don't provide bonuses to defenses in general, its the races that do. For this purpose, defenses ONLY refers to fort, refl, or will.
Dragonborn: +1 fort, +1 will
Dwarf: +2 fort
Eladrin: +3 will (includes their normal +1 will)
Elf: +2 reflex
Halfling: +2 reflex
Half-Elf: +1 to any 2 defenses, or +2 to any one defense.
Human: +1 to all defenses, +1 to any 2 defenses
Tiefling: +1 ref, +1 will
Along with this, the paladin provides +1 to any one defense, to maintain its defense power.
