Paladins are the Holy Knights of the Gods. They
are incorrigibly good and noble with unbending
values and dedication to right. Their inherit
their power directly from the Gods but only if
they remain dedicated to the utmost "goodness"
(see help ALIGNMENT). Should a paladin turn
to the side of darkness, their powers will be all
but worthless.
 
As a "hybrid class", paladins have both combat
skills and magic at their disposal, though not to
as high a level as a pure melee or caster class
might.  Paladins also possess the abilty to ward
off those of good alignment who might otherwise
attempt to harm intruders.
 
Whether a noble and righteous TEMPLAR or
disciplined and deadly INQUISITOR, a
Paladin always stands for truth, justice, and
honour.

Only humans, elves, and dwarves may become a
paladin.
