I appreciate it. I still get a kick every time I see your name. It was my first & still is my favorite class to play. My met my wife while she was playing a dwarf & she was always angry in character (along with two other dwarves) that most of the time my character could de-escalate the combat before they got a good swing in. My traditional team & DM were not sure how to handle the one I played who smote first & asked questions of survivors if any. That DM was also never satisfied with how "little" power player had & always preferred story over strictness of rules.

To give you a taste of their mindset, the last stats he had us all roll were 4d6, drop the lowest two and add 6 to the total. When I rolled up four 18s, a 17 & a 16 he laughed & said this campaign was going to brokenly fun. Never did I think I would put an 18 into a Paladin intelligence. It was a crazy campaign to put it mildly.
