[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5897911, member: 996"] I don't see how taking or not taking second wind is exactly an RP decision. Is he just terribly aggressive or something? Two things about the paladin eschewing platemail: 1) Optimizer observation: Why not just play an Avenger? 2) Something that's been bugging me forever: Armor dependency. Armor just is not a must-have in very much fantasy fiction. Knights in shining armor are a cliche, sure, and a nice image, so the option of wearing armor certainly makes sense, and it should have some benefit. But, it shouldn't be a must, and armor or no armor shouldn't be dictated by something as basic as class. If the Paladin wasn't forced to wear heavy armor, the Avenger would be downright redundant. Well, more redundant. If fighters weren't forced into heavy armor (and forced to be incompetent out of combat), there'd be no problem coming up with swashbuckler and duelist type characters.
