A Paladin is a warrior bold and pure, the exemplar of everything good and true. Like the fighter, the Paladin is a man of combat. However, the Paladin lives for the ideals of righteousness, justice, honesty, piety and chivalry. He strives to be a living example of these virtues so that others might learn from him as well as gain by his actions.
