Turns out he really hated the townspeople lol <| sep |> CS can possibly give you a $ 15 credit for your next bill . <| sep |> Said the Montreal Impact groundskeeper <| sep |> The reason it was such a good rule , however , was that it made people hesitate a bit before going paladin . Paladin as a class has always been pretty strong , balanced with the roleplaying constraints that they can lose their powers if they fuck up . People like playing strong characters , it is part of why a lot of people play the game . Being forced to meet some stat requirements makes people think twice about taking a class partially because they can ' t minmax it as much if their dump stats have a high requirement . The end result is that paladins are actually as rare as they are supposed to be . Bards requirements weren ' t as bad dex 12 , int 13 , cha 15 . And you want more bards than paladins , but not too many more . At the time , cha was the classic dump stat it was no good on paper , even though a good dm would make it pretty important . Even some races had cha requirements so if you had to drop a 3 somewhere , you probably weren ' t going to play anything unusual having a 3 is unusual enough , I guess .
