Paladins w/out spells

[DungeonmasterCal]

I'm sure I've seen this variant before, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it in any of my sourcebooks. Is there a variant of the paladin w/out spells somewhere?

I eliminated their spells and gave them Spell Resistance SR 6+1/level from 4th, worked fine.

Alternatively to the official version in CWar...
- remove the paladin's spellcasting
- multiclass with the PHB2 Knight at 6th level
- allow paladin and knight levels to stack for purposes of determining paladin special abilities

And note that this is the Paladin Without Spellcasting. The class still grants supernatural or spell-like abilities that closely resemble some spells from the Paladin list at the level you'd get the spell level.

No wonder I couldn't find it. One of my group has borrowed CW!!!

Thanks!!!!!

Also: allow Paladins (and Rangers) w/o spells to be able to choose from Fighter only Bonus feats (with a possible extra Feat at level one, but no bonus feats like Fighters as they progress in levels, though - that should definitely remain Fighter only). Paladin levels count as "Fighter" for purposes of entry into Feats such as Weapon Specialization and the like.

How about a bonus feat at each level where they would receive access to a new spell level (i.e. lvl 4, 8, 11, 14).

Yep, that has worked. I have a player who is playing a paladin who liked that alternative very much.

Put a 10 into Wisdom. That gets rid of those pesky spells.
