This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The only D&D I ever had fun playing as the Paladin was in 4e. Every other edition it just came off as a glorified fighter.

Other than that, the 5e vengeance paladin is cool.

Yes, that was one of the better ideas from 4th edition D&D, where it was called the Avenger. In fact, I'd argue the 4e version was better because it was sneakier, and gave off Batman vibes as a result.

Nice! I don't remember the 4e avenger, but I miss the 4e warlord.

There was an avenger in BECMI too, the chaotic counterpart to the lawful paladin IIRC.

I'd not say that avenger was Oath of Vengeance paladin.

Avenger was basically Holy Assassin, sneaky, more squishy, lorewise as divine classes did not lost once impaired powers after initiation - avengers were hunting and killing apostates to stop them from using their God power in wanton ways.

I could live w/o paladins per se, so long as you've got knights. I was a fan of cavalier as a general class with paladins being an even rarer subset of cavaliers.
