====== Paladins ======
{{:classes:paladin.base.151.png }}
You are a militant priest, with an emphasis on 'priest'.
You've been taught archery and the use of weapons, but great care has been taken that you're doctrine is correct.  Now you've been sent out in the world to convert the unrighteous and destroy the enemies of the faith.  Your church members have been charged a pretty penny to equip you for the job! All other areas of your education have been neglected.  Perhaps aware of your deficiency, your superiors have given you some measure of protection from [[attack_types:magic]].


The paladin is selectable by players as their [[:classes|class]].  It has the following modifications to stat distribution:
