I'm just saying that the paladin class mechanics exist as they do because they are a reflection of the paladin class fluff. They started with the concept of a heavily-armoured knight who stands for good and justice, and then derived mechanics to reflect that concept. If they had started with a different concept, then they would have used different mechanics to reflect it.The specific translation from that specific fluff to that specific crunch is a rule. For example, that paladins have three spell slots at fourth level is a rule. If you extend that translation to some other specific fluff, then it would be a different rule, because it no longer represents the specific connection between the same fluff and the same crunch.</blockquote>
