[QUOTE="Felon, post: 3310716, member: 8158"] In general: Paladins are not as useful for fighting as other warrior classes, and their spellcasting certainly isn't terribly useful by any standard. Their good saves are useful for fighting foes that are normally good at subjugating those other warriors. In general, however, they are more trouble to both the party and the DM than they are worth. Rangers are ridiculously popular considering that their isn't really enough to them to warrant their own class. If a fighter had Survival and maybe Hide and Move Silently on his class list, we wouldn't need a class just for the ranger. Monks are just poorly-designed. They have high movement, but have to remain stationary to unleash flurries. They do too little damage at low levels, and way too much at high levels. Force a high-level monk to fight with a weapon, and suddenly he becomes weaker, even if the weapon is a monk weapon like nunchaku (pretty stupid). They're supposed to be highly-trained at combat, but have a mediocre BAB, and in general suffer from a lack of special offensive options. [/QUOTE]
