Shades of Green said:IMHO, a Paladin is a holy warrior for a just cause and a righteous god. While he may ahve significant martial training, his real strength is not external but internal - his strength of faith...
The thing is, most people who actually have Faith, do not consider thier faith to be an internal strength, but an external one. They believe that it is not thier faith that makes them strong, but rather the thing that they have faith in. An inward faith is faith in oneself, which is a very different sort of outlook than that one would expect from a Paladin. Faith - if it works at all - works because of something external to oneself, not because of something inside you.
