A paladin is the very embodiment of a holy knight, fighting for the cause of good in every aspect of his or her life. As the paladin gains life experience and proves his devotion, he will be granted the ability to use limited clerical magics.

They share some of the powers of clerics along with a good deal of the fighting ability of warriors, but have a few virtues all their own. Only those who are pure in heart can become paladins, and the so-called "evil" races have yet to produce them. Dwarves, Erudites, half elves, high elves and humans are the only races that count them among their numbers.
