Fighter and paladin boost (includes new fighter feats) (3.5 Core, PEACH)

[Grod_The_Giant]

Yes, paladin is a somewhat eclectic class. But he's got decent attack and damage bonuses through spells and the occasional Smite Evil (not as much as a raging barbarian gets, but a bit), and a bit of healing, and a bit of feats...he's sort of a bit of everything.

I would argue that a class needs something unique. Why should I play a paladin as opposed to, say, a fighter/cleric? I would argue that your fix fails to address the paladin's biggest problems.

• MAD
• Smite Evil doesn't have enough effect and isn't usable often enough.
• All the class features are concentrated in the first few levels, leaving little incentive not to multiclass out.
