fallen paladin

I'm thinking of taking, maybe soloing, a paladin through the series. The concept of a fallen paladin intrigues me. I did a search on the forums and I got a few questions about those.
What exactly do you lose when your rep goes under 6? Your spells, certainly, but how about saves?
What happens when you lvl up? I suppose you gain HP and your THAC0 improves, but how about highlevel abilities when you reach ToB? BTW, I exported my fallen paladin to ToB, but he only got lvl 16, not high enough to get any hla right of the bat.
A couple of funny things happened though while I imported the character in ToB... first, I had to reroll for the stats, while your stats should be the ones you had in BG1. This also means you'll lose the effects of all the tomes you can find in BG1.
I could choose a paladinkit but the abilities weren't there, even the 'passive' ones like resistance to fire.
I could put the priest spells in my spellbook, only I couldn't access them. The 'spellbutton' remainded dark.
The strangest thing, however, was the fact that I had all my equipment from BG1 on me, like the ankheg-armor, the letter from the first assassin, etc.
I guess there aren't any advantages to playing a fallen paladin ( you'll never get to grandmastery, for instance, no spells, no kit-related bonuses) but I like the idea from a roleplaying perspective.
Has ANYONE ever played a gone-bad-paladin for an extended amount of time?
