As a paladin I do want to protect my mates, but just as well I want to be running around in full plate kicking butt and shouting, "I say thee nay!"I usually DM, but have been getting my hands dirty as a player lately and trying out the paladin. As others have said, multiple scores are important to the pally... unless you want to just forget about certain abilities and go all strength or all charisma. That seemed a suboptimal choice to me--I want options--so I ended up with 15's in Str, Con, Wis, and Cha (I'm human), and I'm waiting for that magical level 4 when two of those will pop (I've decided Str and Cha). I do get envious of the rogues in the party, though. They max out their Dex scores, have excellent attack bonuses, and scoop out the damage. To be the best pally I can be, I favor the broad approach. After looking at the virtuous paladin from the WotC article, I think the ardent will be more my style. But then there's the tedium of retraining every bloody power and feat to optimize that build, if I like it. It could take forever. :-/</blockquote>
