A Paladin is a state of mind. If a person believes that there is Good and Justice, and not just heard about it, and is ready to stand up for them, then he is a paladin, regardless of the cross on his armor or even the cross in his soul. For example, I consider myself a paladin now (and have for the past two weeks:), I've come to the conclusion that this is the best). P.S. - 2SteN - I read that paladins were knights of Charlemagne:(... But I'm not sure, so I won't argue.
