I would say that the rolls allow for a playable Paladin.  But the Paladin will have to choose between being a sub-par fighter, having no skills, being a poor spellcaster, turning not being an option and having less than optimal saving throws with little healing power.  Paladins definately aren't overpowered even with awesome stats.  I would give them better stats so that it is more fun to play.</blockquote>
