Paladin

Paladins are Warrior-trained priests who draw their power from acts of righteousness and strict adherence to the Code of The Temple of Solomon. Their strength in battle, combined with the ability to perform limited miracles is offset by the difficulty they experience in perfecting their craft and the penalties they suffer when they stray from the path of righteousness.

"You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever. Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty. In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds. Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet... You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy... I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever..."

Paladins are the soldiers of the Divine. Their faith is the equal of a Cleric, yet their training is more dependent on physical skill, hence an accelerated strength. This training coupled with blessings from the Divine makes them a powerful force in His name. A Paladin cherishes wisdom as well as his strength. Single-minded devotion to the Divine, while justified in the estimation of the Paladin, leaves little mind for independent thought. Intelligence is not a prize highly sought by the Paladins.
