The paladin is a class in Legends of Might and Magic. He is a member of the good team, and is an expert in close combat, though less impressive with ranged weapons. He is the counterpart of the evil warrior. At six feet tall, he is as tall as the warlord, which makes him easy to hit.
Paladins start with the long sword and crossbow. Their superweapon is the gatling crossbow, which unleashes a stream of bolts and has the largest maximum load in the game, but also the longest reload time (more than twice as long as any other weapon). Paladins can use all types of armor.
Paladins excel in close combat, and can be useful in the early rounds or when fighting in tunnels or other tight quarters. But he is less skilled in ranged combat, and once advanced weapons begin to enter the battlefield, his weaknesses will become more and more obvious.
The Paladin is a true champion, willing to lay down his life for those for whom he has pledged his loyalty. Though more likely to take up a sword and wade into the thick of battle, his training with some of the more unique crossbows cannot be ignored.OffBck
