Their characters are special, both in the "PC Glow" sense and in the plot sense (they have destinies different from those of the rest of the world). Also, the point about new players having a lot on their mind is a good one. They're just now wrapping around AoOs and flanking bonuses, so giving them a hand here and there can't hurt. I wouldn't just give the paladin this and ignore the rest of the party. I also wouldn't give it to him without bringing in the downside, that seekers of the secret and the saint's enemies (in the case of Piratecat's suggestion) would come to persuade him to give up the secret, violently if need be. I already have other ideas for the rest of the party: The fighter/rogue, for example, will likely have access to a special PrC thanks to some information she provided me in her background. In the meantime, I'm going to let it lie for now and see what happens in the next adventure. Still, with a party layout like this, I can't ignore the fact that a lot of them want stealth stuff, and not every adventure can be a straight assault, which is what stealth missions turn into when the big shiny paladin appears.</blockquote>
