Hey, do you mind if I steal the /Encounter thing for my own version of the Paladin? I think this is an awesome idea. I'm not a fan of the double smite damage to Undead, but then again, I'm all for the Undead having equal alignment rights.

I was going through each ability point-by-point, but I have to say that I just love this class, but I think it's Tier 2, not Tier 3. Especially since this class is now extremely useful in solo games and can buff allies without even thinking about it.
