Description

A paladin is a warrior bold and pure, the exemplar of everything good and true. Like the fighter, the paladin is a man of combat. However, the paladin lives for the ideals of righteousness, justice, honesty, piety, and chivalry. He strives to be a living example of these virtues so that others might learn from him as well as gain by his actions.

Advantages:
- High hitpoints
- Weapon Specialisation
- Turn Undead
- Lay on Hands
- +2 all saving throws
- Various special abilities (Detect Evil, Protection from Evil)

Disadvantages:
- Human only.
- Must be Lawful Good in Alignment - Must maintain Lawful Good status, or become 'fallen' and lose special abilities


Opinions


Bardan says : An extremely strong class, the paladin gains some very useful abilities. The +2 to all saving throws can be the difference between life and death, as can be the ability to Turn Undead. A strong fighter with special abilities and the power to cast spells in full armour? You work it out!
