I think one of the best pieces of advice I've ever seen for playing a Paladin is "work out what your Code is with the DM". That tends to head off a goodly portion of Code railroading. The authority problem... gotta say that's a long-time DM move. It works for some, but if you're playing a Paladin as a "Crusader Against Evil," tossing in those Catch-22s are just a bad move.If the campaign is, on the other hand, a much more social/societal game, then those dilemmas fit in perfectly. It's a question of style... Pretty much... Divine Grace is a sweet ability, but not being allowed to multiclass bites you in the ass so hard... And Lay On Hands is practically a joke. They did a smart move with the Dragon Shaman's Touch of Vitality and boosting it to Level*2*CHA, which they should have done to also power up the Monk and Paladin.Then Smites limited by day, with a rare few feats/PrCs giving extra smites... which still only work on Evil creatures, which you are not guaranteed to fight in every game. PF did a fair boost to the Paladin, from what I've heard. In 3.5, your generally better off doing Cleric or Crusader (Tome of Battle, if you and your DM use the book).Going back, tweaking the sheet and changing the background entirely may be a bit of a hassle... I really don't know if we'll be able to function fine without a second Cleric in a group this large, but I'm pretty sure Fangor can roll with it.
