Paladin

Noble and pure, deep of thought and yet a man of action, the Paladin is a strong character fringed with contradiction. A Paladin's leadership ability is strong, yet not spectacular, and the troops he commands initially are numerous and dedicated, though not especially powerful. The amount of gold with which he starts and his commission per week are excellent. Shortcomings in leadership and rank attainment are made up for by a real proficiency in spell-casting, though he does need initial instruction in magic to get him started. A Paladin's spell power is second only to a Sorceress', as is his spell retention capability.
