40% of Fighter skills have ACP. 14% of Paladin skills have ACP.
Fighters will probably want to use Scale instead of Plate.
You're still going to want to have Athletics when you fall in the sea, armour check penalty or not.

Technically, they do not get any feat for free. They are just able to use plate. This might seem like nitpicking, but it helps if you ever run into the whole argument about if your paladin can use the plate if he has too low strength.

He can't if his STR is too low.
A paladin with a 10 strength can wear and use Plate armor just fine. (Although he might be encumbered due to the weight of his gear.)
In attempt to head of the debate, I present the PHB FAQ, question #1, on the WOTC website:
Answer
The question is regarding a fighter with a lower than 13 Con using Scale armor, but the answer is the same.
I just went to the same source actually.
I would say it only goes half way toward answering the question, but it at least trends toward the answer you have given, so I'll let it be.
I'm just verifying this because it surprises me.
Paladins get the Plate Mail Feat for free, but the Fighter does not.
Has there been any discussion or comments on this?
If not.. am I understanding this to be correct?
