With good strength, constitution and will growths, even a novice paladin is extremely durable. Heavy armour helps mitigate damage, while tactics and two-handed keep the melee damage coming. Their spellcasting capabilities may not be on par with priests', but can serve either in a minor support or damage capability, offering them more versatility than warriors. | ||
Paladins are even more devout than priests or inquisitors, possessing two ranks of the class feat as opposed to one. As such, paladins should start worshipping a god as soon as they are able to reap the benefits; while one can get lucky and find an altar to one's intended deity in the wilderness or a nefia, a trip to the [[Elin:Truce Ground|Truce Ground]], [[Elin:Aquli Teola|Aquli Teola]], [[Elin:Mifu Village|Mifu Village]], or [[Elin:Nefu Village|Nefu Village]] is far more reliable and should be undertaken as soon as possible. The longer a character's belief in a deity, the stronger the bonuses he or she receives, so it's recommended to start as early as possible. Changing gods is only necessary if you intend to collect more apostle pets; it is intended that feats and treasures rewarded by gods will not function properly for non-believers. | Paladins are even more devout than priests or inquisitors, possessing two ranks of the class feat as opposed to one.

** Even Paladins who do not worship Jure for reasons such as role-playing still have the same performance as priest and warmage. | |||
** In this case, [[Elin:Opatos of Earth|Opatos]], [[Elin:Horome of Moonshadow|Horome]] and [[Elin:Yevan of Strife|Yevan]] are the options. | |||
