[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1158964, member: 478"] I don't think, I asked for that. ;) Yes, Paladins are lacking in this area, but I don't agree, that Paladins are weak. Actually in 3.0 they were the most powerful fighter class, now they are probably tied with the Ranger after the huge powerup. You don't need any more offense, than what the Paladin got. Sure they can't compare to spellcasters at higher levels, noone can, but their defensive abilities are what makes them the best fighters, as staying in the fight adds a lot of damage potential. I also don't really see, why a Paladin must be the huge uber damage dealer. The focus on the defensive does fit the class very well, to resist temptations, and to stay on their righteous way, etc. The defensive abilities are what defines the Paladin mostly. And speaking of damage... the Fighter's Weapon Specialization (and even Greater Weapon Specialization) is way weaker than the Paladin's Divine Might! That doesn't say anything about the lack of suitable Paladin PrC, tho. Hospitaler... are you kidding? NO spellcasting progression!!! Sacred Exorcist... Ok, that one offers quite a bit admittedly, altho it's application is very limited like most DotF PrC. Radiant Servant of Pelor... I don't know that... Dragon? Contemplative... see post above. Those "uber PrC" (I admit, there are some) are bad anyways. PrC shouldn't just be better, they should mainly be different, focusing on some strengths, while neglecting others, providing a kind of specialization, or enhance the background. Some PrC do this, some don't. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
