[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9085271, member: 7035894"] Okay, math it is. Since these are all hardcore tanks, I'll have them use their ASIs to max constitution (fighter would probably grab toughness too, but whatever). Assume AC goes up a couple points each step (less for barbarian because they aren't wearing any armour...though if they were going for maximum tankiness they would. But whatever). Level 1 goblin test Paladin: AC 19, HP 18 (effective): survives against goblin 11 rounds Fighter: AC 19, HP 19.5 (effective): survives 12 rounds Barbarian: AC 15, HP 15, survives 11 rounds Variant paladin: AC 19, HP 38 (effective): survives 23 rounds Level 5 owlbear test Paladin: AC 21, HP 79 (effective): survives against owlbear 9 rounds Fighter: AC 21, HP 64.5 (effective): survives 7 rounds Barbarian: AC 16, HP 60, survives 8 rounds Variant paladin: AC 21, HP 149 (effective): survives 18 rounds Level 11 cyclops test Paladin: AC 23, HP 180 (effective): survives against cyclops 13 rounds Fighter: AC 23, HP 141.5 (effective): survives 10 rounds Barbarian: AC 18, HP 137, survives 12 rounds Variant paladin: AC 23, HP 325 (effective): survives 24 rounds Anyhow, you see the trend - your variant has about twice the survivability as the current tank classes.
