I agree with you, but there's a lot of people who feel otherwise. The Paladin has, sadly, been defined more by their limitations over the decades than their actual powers. I mean, one of their "iconic" abilities (Smite) didn't even exist before 3e, and another was actually swiped from the...

Ok. So I either got that list from Dragon, or from a different UA than the one I currently have access to. Bizarre!

But while trying in vain to verify my sources, I did find another fun rule in UA on page 13. Once again, how much your character weighs is an important stat! I know a few female Elves who might be surprised they're a sandwich away from being able to use two handed weapons!

I...I don't know what to say. I'm positive it was in there, but now I can't find it. Mandela Effect strikes again?

I mean it's hard to discuss one without the other.

Sure, the tables on page 9.

Druid/Thief struck me as being inexplicably awesome, and I despise AD&D Thieves. That and allowing for Elf and Halfling Druids in the first place! If I played more AD&D more often, and I didn't already have a stable of characters, I'd be asking my DM if he'd allow it.

Huh, last time I said this exact same thing, I had people arguing with me.

You know, I've tried a bunch of things, and what works best is "Stranger in a Strange Land". This allows you to explain lore as your leisure, instead of writing a 60 page text document full of "your character should know this" stuff that nobody is ever going to read. So now, I find a contrived...

But then look at all the magic items that granted tons of experience points, almost as if Gary thought to himself "gold to xp isn't enough, these guys might get angry with all the level draining".

I wanted to like that with a "Haha" but then I realized, you're probably exactly right.
