Introduction

The paladin is a pretty well rounded character like the amazon. The paladin is handy with a sword, while have good magic support spells like auras. The paladins skill trees consist of defensive auras, offensive auras, and combat skills. Focusing on his aura trees will make a sorcerer/warrior type of character, and focusing on combat skills will make more of a warrior.

The Knights of Westmarch who felled the armies of mighty Leoric are pure at heart and follow closely the teachings of Zakarum, the Religion of the Light. A battle-ready warrior for whom faith is a shield, he fights for what he believes to be right. Furthermore, his steadfastness gives him powers to bring blessings to his friends, and wreak cruel justice upon his foes. There are those who call the Paladin an overwrought zealot, but others recognize in him the strength and goodness of the Light.
