The Paladin is a holy warrior. A fierce opponent on the battlefield. He jumps into the heat of battle bolstered by his courage and divine abilities. He fights for his land and for all that is good. If you have a particular dislike for all things undead the Paladin even has specific skills for dealing with this race. He heightens the abilities of his friends with auras and divine seals and when all seems lost and hopeless the Paladin will bless those that are falling with Holy Light. He makes them healthy and strong and together they crush and drive back their evil enemies.
The Paladin is a mix of a tank and a support caster, ideal for groups. That means he will fight with hand to hand weapons and also be able to cast group friendly buffs.
