version

The Paladin is a dangerous ally. His shield bash does damage and allows him to take on physical attackers. He charges into the fray fearlessly, covering his weaker ally and enabling them to fight without fear. Despite many trials, he continues to be a tenacious foe to deal with. And when the time calls for it, the Divine will answer his call and turn the tides of war
