Paladin

• The Paladin's chief role in most groups is as a melee combatant, and her spell selection is helpful in battling evil.
• She makes a good healer, and her high Charisma opens up leadership opportunities.

The Paladin draws on divine power to heal herself and her allies, wards off harm, protects her from disease, and guards heart against fear. A novice can confront evil, and experienced paladins can smite evil foes, turn away undead and cast from a selection of divine spells.

The compassion to pursue good, the will to uphold law, and the power to defeat evil - these are the three weapons of the paladin. Few have the purity and devotion that it takes to walk the paladin's path, but those few are rewarded with the power to protect, to heal, and to smite. In a land of scheming nobles, unholdy priests, inscrutable dragons, backstabbing guilds, and infernal fiends, the paladin is the final hope that cannot be extinguished.
