'''Paladins''' are holy warriors who worship [[the Shining One]], and share many abilities of the [[Fighter]] and the [[Priest]]. In particular, they are charged with smiting evil, and gain power from destroying demons, the undead, and other evil beings.

Note that a Paladin's religion requires them to fight honorably. They must refrain from using [[poison]], unholy magic or items, or attacking while [[invisibility|invisible]]. Nor can they attack a confused, held, fleeing, sleeping, paralyzed, or otherwise helpless opponent, unless that opponent is evil. Of course, you may deem [[the Shining One]]'s protection and gifts to be more than worth all this restraint.

Paladins begin with 28 [[piety]].

== Racial restrictions ==
As with other religious classes, [[Demigod]]s cannot be Paladins. In addition, the undead races ([[Mummy|Mummies]], [[Ghoul]]s and [[Vampire]]s) and [[Demonspawn]] may not start as Paladins, since the [[Shining One]] will not accept them as followers. Even temporarily becoming undead via the [[Necromutation]] spell will result in excommunication.

[[Human]]s, [[High Elf|High Elves]], [[Mountain Dwarf|Mountain Dwarves]], [[Hill Orc]]s, [[Centaur]]s, and [[Minotaur]]s are the recommended races for this class.

== Starting equipment ==
* Paladins start with a +0, [[falchion]], +0 [[ring mail]], +0 [[shield]], [[potion of curing]], and a [[bread ration]], before racial variation.

== Starting skills ==
* Paladins start with 2 levels in [[Fighting]], 3 levels in [[Long Blades]], 2 levels in [[Shields]], 2 levels in [[Armour]], and 2 levels in [[Invocations]], adjusted for species aptitudes.
