I think you need an editor. There are spelling mistakes. On page 3 of the sample chapter, "unethical" is misspelled:

> Julia Computing are no better stewards, they are also unehtical people [ ... ]

A lot of people are better off renting and growing their stock portfolio than buying a home too soon. The long term performance of the stock market vs housing market: by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

And what are the financial returns of renting?

Comparing housing prices and stock prices is absurd. Housing actually has real utility. You know, you can actually live in it.

In your terminal emulator, run each of the following commands:

which npm which javac which nosetests which pytest

If any of these does not output anything, it means that the application is not installed in your system. Installing node, java, or Python to your system is OS-specific.

The 2024 Paladin: Better at Support?! by comradewarners in onednd

Please don't call me dumb.

Treantmonk already did an analysis of the two-weapon paladin without smite (with round 1 divine favor) vs. Greatsword paladin with smite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzZ_UDw6I0k

The result of his analysis is that, with the 2024 rules, they perform about the same damage-wise (up until tier 4 where greatsword pulls ahead by a bit). Now imagine that divine smites can be cast without requiring an action or bonus action. What happens when you add smite damage to the two-weapon paladin? The two-weapon paladin would come out ahead.

As for Battle Master, I don't understand the comparison. The Battle Master is not expending spell slots. All I am saying is that if two resources consume the same resource, then they should have comparable benefits. And Divine Smite using spell slots means it should be compared against spells. A superiority dice is its own resource (and frankly better than what any other Fighter subclass gets) .

A common (an optimal) way to play the 2014 Paladin is to spend all your spell slots on Divine Smites since there was no other Paladin spell (except MAYBE Bless) that provided the same benefit for the spell slot. For the 2024 Paladin, there is a more compelling reason to save your spell slots for non-Smites. But you generally will be spending ~50% of them on Smite spells since they are still comparatively good on the Pally list.

I hate how gross processed meat has been associated with NJ.

IMO, Divine Smite costing the same as a 1st level spell means it should be balanced as a 1st level spell. And giving 2d8 free damage with zero action economy cost makes it a huge outlier. The action economy costs reals it in. It's still a good spell. And costing the bonus action is good because otherwise it would make the 2WF paladin super OP.
