The fighter has always had a high HD and the best weapon and armor selections. The Paladin has the exact same advantages, and has a host of useful supernatural abilities instead of feats.The Barbarian has the same weapon selection, a larger hit die, fast movement and rage from level one, and gives up only heavy armor profciency.Please, post some sort of reason or backup for this claim. Have you actually looked at the Cleric spell list? Again, at least attempt to back up your claims.  True. Which just frees up a Cleric's spell slots to use all of their more powerful combat spells. So I guess Wizards should recieve a d8 hit die and heavy armor as well then? And the ability to cast in it freely.  Neither can anyone else, accept Fighters and Rogues respectively. Wizards are different spellcasters...they are not far more useful. Yes, a fighter or paladin is going to be better in combat than an unbuffed Cleric, but they Cleric can get a couple combat feats and cast a spell to be right up there with them...or better yet take out the enemies with Slay Living, Destruction, Hold Person, Blindness/Deafness etc.All while having an AC equal or superior to the Fighters, and between saves and spell being immune to most relevent magical attacks.</blockquote>
