They fight, and fight well, and have the backing of spellcasting. In my main campaign world, the (single) church is mainly composed of experts, commoners, and such. The attached knightly orders are the Clerics, though some are found in positions within the church. Most small villages will not have a true Cleric, though they will have a priest or such there of course. The followers of the Daughter send Clerics out to make round and heal what ills they can. The followers of the Son send some out to wander the land and rid it of evil monsters. Paladins are like 'inquisitors'. They are are direct hands of the Son, who police his Order and the rest of the pantheon as well. They're the ones that will drag a venal or corrupt Church official out into the town square and lop his head off, or make him confess under the burning light of truth, or make him walk through the city parcelling out his hoarded riches to the poor.</blockquote>
