Class Concepts: The Paladin

This concept is purely for use as a guide to the capabilities and powers of what I consider the important class types, as well as what type they are and what equipment I see them using.

Author's Note

The paladin is a favoured class pretty much wherever it crops up, but they are also restricted to pretty much a few armaments and a few spells without much room for variation. With this basic concept, I tried to free up what 'Paladin' means in terms of a character type at the same time as keeping what makes a paladin a paladin.
The form of the spells and skills is entirely in the hands of any writer who takes some inspiration from my models.
