I played a front line sorcerer once. On his father’s deathbed, he swore to protect their home town as a member of the town guard.
First session, home town is destroyed by a dragon.
The whole rest of the campaign he was fueled by failure, rage, and revenge. Didn’t make sense as a front liner but it didn’t matter.
I had a front line wizard in The Dark Eye. Dude had trash spell stats but high strength, lots of points in throwing weapons and an indestructible crystal ball that he could summon back to his hand. Which counted as a magic weapon because, well, it’s enchanted.
And he still had access to various divination spells. Not reliably but still.
Playing a shit spellcaster can be a lot of fun.

Tell that to my dumb ass birdboi paladin. Granted, he’s a barbarian/fighter/paladin so it explains some things.
That’s a semi abserd front line multi-class

Yeah, Moon Druid is honestly a top-tier tank, especially once you hit a high enough level to cast while wildshaped.

The full saying is “Jack of all trades but master of none is oftentimes better than a master of one”
In DnD it’s certainly true, it’s called versatility and the funny thing about paladins is they’re still a master of burst damage that also comes with being a master of burst healing.
There’s only one more busted class and it’s called a cleric who is, surprise surprise, also a frontline caster.

The curse is you now have to rp as a paladin.

I do so love my magic tanks. I played sorcerers and wizards for like a decade before finally deciding to try a paladin, and oh good Lord was it fun being able to actually just slap a mfer
I think Wizard is my favorite class, because I like having options. My favorite character was a Paladin though. It’s fun still having some spells but not having to worry about it much. You’re mostly just hitting people.

My favorite character I’ve played was a Paladin, but I went in not wanting to RP the typical purely good Paladin. He was a bit of a narcissist, but he helped people to maintain his image and status. It was an interesting spin on the lawful good architype. He did good, it just happened to be for selfish reasons usually.

It’s silly, but it bothers me when people claim recent revisions to sayings are actually the “complete” forms of sayings. Here’s a great write up of the history of the phrase “Jack of all trades”: https://english.stackexchange.com/a/508907
The end of the comment has a summary of the revisions over time, and the “ofttimes better than master of one” first appeared in 2007.

Same with “the customer is always right” having “in matters of taste” added to it as the alleged full version around the same period.
Not only is it wrong, it ignores the entire narrative that led up to the original saying. Retailers asked their front-line staff to tolerate customers’s unreasonable behavior to increase sales. That’s it. The revision shifts the blame to the customers, who should be civil regardless, but would be more likely to be so if acting otherwise didn’t have few consequences and the possibility of greater material gain.
