Ouch.
I like Rogue and Sorcerer. Were my 2nd and 3rd favorites till I found out about Swashbuckler and Scout (Fighter used to be my 1st, but its been bumped to 3rd lol).

I think while people like those classes, the coolness of the other ones outweigh it.
Besides, i think cleric is still viewed as a walking band aid at times. (even though they're not).
Anyway, welcome back!

yes I believe that clerics are severly underestimated... they can be so much more than healers...... I mean come o....they have far more spells than just healing ones....

Yeah. Plus, they have d8 HD, so they can stay in combat a bit. Aaand... they have all armor proficiency, and all simple weapon proficiency. And there are some pretty decent simple weapons. Not to mention being able to turn/rebuke undead......

I despise Paladins. In my eyes, paladins are nothing but overzealous Fighters weilding a god's power in exchange for too much. Like I said, I love fighters for their versatility. Because they can be of any alignment and any fighting style through their use of many bonus feats. Paladins sacrifice that versatility, not to mention their entire personal freedoms, for a little extra power. Unless a Paladin wants to lose the favor of his god and forsake all that power, he must follow his god's every whim.
Paladins of Evil deities (Like those mentioned in UA) are just as bad. They follow their deities in search of personal gain and a false promise of power. While the characters themselves become powerful, the evil diety makes them perform more and more lofty tasks, but always keeps the true power they lust for just out if their reach. Because of this, they continue to follow their evil god, for they fear that power as much as they want it for themselves.
I think Benjamin Franklin once said something along the lines of 'He who would sacrifice his own freedom for a bit of temorary safety deserves neither freedom nor safety'. There's paladins for you.
Clerics I think are okay to be zealous, because without their god, they're just mediocre warriors, barely skilled enough to get by.

Because I like being blunt and cryptic, I am going to shoot down your argument with one sentance. Paladins do not need to worship a god.
