[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 5732845, member: 336"] Most classes that are not tied to a deity in some form don't have radiant damage What edition of D&D let's you take the Paladin class with no alterations and allows him to sneak as well as a rogue(thief), or give him backstab/sneak attack? None. Why is that? What edition of D&D let's a rogue class with no alterations affect undead with "radiant" power? Once again none. Why is that? In D&D Classes have always existed for a particular reason they are easy to use, the leveling mechanic makes it easy to adjust, and presents instant gratification every time you level. Each Class has a "role" to play in the interaction with combat and those roles are sometimes unique and sometimes they overlap. Everyone does damage in combat, but rogues get sneak attack, why doesn't the Paladin get sneak attack damage? Because it is not in his class. But Paladins get Radiant damage to undead, and lay on hands, etc. Why does the Ranger Class in any edition of D&D not do "radiant" damage to Undead. Why does he have to "sacrifice" light armor, and two weapon attacks if he wants to wear Plate Armor and a Shield? [/QUOTE]
