Huzzah!

I base my paladins on the Church Knights in the Elenium books by David Eddings: warriors trained in battle and magic specifically to protect humanity from supernatural evil. The mundane evils of the world aren't a concern for my paladins. Sure, they might not be happy with thieves or corrupt...

Sloth.

Thanks for the replies, people! I'm glad to see that there isn't a clear answer - makes me feel better about the hour I wasted yesterday pondering the question.

There's a furniture maker and a floor layer somewhere having a heart attack too.

Show a little respect.* Her name was Aleena. * By which I mean respect for the millions of teenage boys who mourned her death.
