Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stalker0" data-source="post: 8414480" data-attributes="member: 5889">I think the paladin has implicitly in its flavor the idea of "drawing from a holy source of power". The paladin is not a "fighter" aka a veteran of war, that they are a holy warrior connected to the gods.A paladin "holding his hands in a holy gesture and crying out to the gods for power to see their will done", aka casting a spell, is just perfectly in line with the flavor.In contrast, I think the ranger flavor draws heavily on the self-reliant person motiff. This is the person who can live on their own by their own grit and whit, they need nothing but their own strength. So I think on the one hand, that flavor is less magical to begin with, and then the notion that you are drawing on a secondary source for your strength I think flies in the face of the core flavor.</blockquote>
