One other thing that occurred to me is this:  the paladin in question may not be taking paladin levels any more.  I think the character has at least one level of Harper Scout, but I'm not certain.  (I need to get more info from the player -- as I said, I just took over the group and I don't have quite all the information I probably should.)</blockquote>
