Call me crazy, but I'm considering purposely becoming a fallen paladin. Anyway, I just needed to know a few things:

1) Fallen paladins are supposed to be equivalent to fighters, so does that mean you can progress to advanced weapon specialization (+++++)?

2) Just for the style effect, when you becom 'fallen', does the character screen actually say "Fallen paladin" or just "fighter"?

I just thought it would be interesting to try this sometime...thanx in advance.

In BG1 you could advance and you were called Fallen Paladin. I'm sure someone will confirm this being the case also for BG2.

Yes it says Fallen Paladin (not fighter) but i dunno whether he can be proficient up to +++++

Something in addition: what does your alignment change to if you become a Fallen paladin?

I played a Paladin in Baldur's Gate 1 and I was not able to put more then two ++ in a weapon slot. I believe that Paladin's because they get other bonuses, can only specialize(++). If one lose all their Paladin bonuses once one becomes Fallen, but then gain the ability to have +++++ as a fighter, why not just play a fighter in the first place? If they get other bonuses as a fallen paladin then I don't believe they should then get the +++++. But I am not sure.

I have this thing about stylish titles. Fighter just sounds too one-dimensional, but Fallen Paladin suggests a rebelious, more imposing type of person.

Cool. No progress with out experimentation!

I started a Fallen Paladin character for BG1. I hacked in the Helm of Opposite Alignment first to give him the proper outlook then went about being evil. It's cool for Role-playing purposes.

I played as a Fallen ranger for while, and the screen said "Fallen ranger", so I should be the same for paladins.

I don't thing you will gain any advantages from the fighter class such as 5 profs and faster level gain. But I agree it's a good idea to play fallen paladin anyway, it's very stylish

It's a pity the group of fallen paladin don't let you join them, even if you're a fallen paladin yourself. A fallen undead hunter working for Bodhi is cool anyway.

You can always use SK to make him stronger, not cheating mind you but creating a new class of warrior. Also can a fallen paladin use cromsyr?

Nope.

BLAST!!!!

An advantage of a fallen paladin is that you can roll high stats at character creation
