I have decided that Paladins will remain a sub-class of fighter.
1. Noble service cheerfully rendered.
2. Courage and enterprise in obedience to rule.
3. Respect for all peers and equals.
4. Honor to all above your station.
5. Military prowess exercised in service to your lord, baron, etc.
6. Death defore dishonor.
7. Under only the most dire of consequences ( to prevent them ) will a cavalier charge through friendly troops or destroy friendly army cohesion.
