[QUOTE="Fifth Element, post: 5939554, member: 48135"] If you want to get really pedantic, I'll say that WotC absolutely does need to draw the line somewhere, or else the player's handbook would be infinitely large. But I just picked some ridiculously high number of classes that D&D has never had in its core game, for purposes of illustration. No kidding. The specific discussion is not "able to play a paladin or not", but "how exactly are you able to play a paladin." Which was my point, that you were objection to an argument not being made. You want to make sure people can play a paladin if they want to. Which they can, even if it's mechanically a theme instead of a class. This is what you're missing. The discussion is about whether the paladin should be a class or a theme, not whether it should be in the game at all. Since WotC must necessarily draw arbitrary lines at what should and should not be a class in the PHB (because the book has a page count), then it's a discussion that must be had. [/QUOTE]
