Thier role is to defend the people and lead by example. Even a Blackguard if in a dark warped way. A Paladin is invested with Authority by the Gods them selves. Does anyone get what I'm saying? Thier is a reason that charisma is the magic stat and not wisdom for Paladins. While Paladin's serve the Gods, they do so so via Authority invested in them by the Gods, not by spiritual gnosis with the God or deep spiritual knoweldge. Its why I see Paladins as defering usually to a Cleric of thier faith on spiritual matters, but taking the lead on practical matters or basic goverence. There should be a poll on this question.</blockquote>
