Yeah, that's what it is. I feel for you. Seems irksome. Plus mandible? Scapula? Really? I dunno, maybe that's just me peeving from all the times my friend who's studying biology goes off about various anatomical and biological structures just to make me feel stupid because I don't know what they all are...
It's irksome, it really is. It's forcing me to double-check on google before I write my response to make sure that I'm not mistaking one bone name for another. I almost did sternum instead of scapula... especially since it makes so much more sense for someone to punch you in the chest from the front than for them to punch you in the back from the front.

Although 2nd edition is my favorite, I indeed enjoyed playing 3.5 for the sake of Knight Templar like the Grey Guard or the Shadowbane Inquisitor mrgreen
Grey Guard is kind of a godsend for people wanting to play a Paladin as anything other than a fairytale champion of justice. If you just want to be a gruff but chivalrous goodguy your choices are Justicar and Knight... Although I do fully support the variant paladin rules from UA because it makes you able to have a LE paladin of an evil deity that
isn't a Blackguard (since having to get up to prestige to be a badguy paladin is just icky).
In general paladins in 3e are pretty limited in what they can do. They're grossly overspecialized, like Rangers, but don't get the extra all-around utility that Rangers do. It's like being a gimped fighter half the time, and a force of nature -only- against undead. The thing that really turns them around is the conversion feats for Turn uses, but they don't have those in the PHB or even the PHB2. If you have to go to a sourcebook to make a base class a viable option, they're doing something wrong.
