[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 1666509, member: 11300"] Blend Power Attack, a few Smite Evils (With a good Charisma, the Paladin's primary stat) and a two handed weapon and your Paladin is going to single handedly take down the main threat on the field - the fighter normally can't fulfill this role quite as effectively as a Paladin. Leave the grunt work to the cleaving fighter who can mow down numerous lesser opponents with his or her feats. This is not to mention superior saves (go that charisma), a lay on hands (Charisma again) that brings the other group fighter back to full health followed by a mount that is better at hacking up the bad guys than anyone else in the party - go the Dire Lion - and talk of weapon specialization is simply not an issue. Not to mention that your diplomacy skills should be out the kahootz (Charisma again) for when you are not fighting, you have a package that can easily stand alongside of the best fighters around. Both classes are good and many would actually say that the Paladin is slightly better. However, which ever way you choose to look at it, the Paladin is a powerful member of any group. Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
