As you see, Paladins have a good combination of fighting and magic skills. They are a good, interesting class to play, because they don´t gain levels by sitting at an inn casting spells... but by fighting.

Your mission as a Paladin is to defend the nobility of a state of yor choice, to gain rank and reputation with the Knights of the Dragon and The Mages Guild.

Paladins are noble too. They NEVER work for the Thieves Guild or The Dark Brotherhood. They fight against these organisations!

Some Paladins are likely to join The Fighter Guild or Trainers, too, to build their fighting skills a bit.
