With the Katana, you have to remember (I don't know if anyone else has said this) that you have to take an EXTRA feat to use it effectively, the payoff of using an extra feat is better damage. Remember this game is a fantasy world and things can't be done randomly...
With the Paladin, it's my favourite class!! It's sort of like the hero of the people, the chivalrous warrior who saves the damsel in distress or kills the dragon plaguing the countryside, whats wrong with a class like that?
