	The '''Paladin''' (パラディン, ''Paradin'') is a defensively-oriented vocation in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)\|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Originally, the vocation was depicted as more of a "Holy Karate-ka" rather than the more common, heavily armored knight seen in other media. Starting with ''IX'', the vocation has shifted to better reflect the popular perception.

			Paladin is a specialist vocation which requires leveling up Warrior and Martial Artist to level 50. Paladins have great HP and defence, and can protect their allies. Their Bonding Buddy skill is similar to [[Selflessness]].

			Leveling up a Paladin to level 99 is one of the requisites to unlock the [[Guardian (vocation)\|Guardian]] vocation.

	Many players consider the vocation to be a [[Rubiss\|Goddess-send]] when facing Legacy Bosses, as the beasts can very easily obliterate an unguarded party even at high levels. Due to elemental resisting equipment now working off of percentages rather than static numbers, it is slightly easier to keep a Paladin alive when he or she bears the brunt of a multi-striking ability.

The Paladin increases Strength, Agility and Wisdom in ''VI'' and ''VII'', and possess a low chance of killing the enemy instantly by striking a soft spot. This chance rises when the higher rank the paladin is, and varies between two titles. In ''IX'', the Paladin loses its Agility and ability to instantly slay monsters in exchange for a much more durable body, focusing the vocation's skills and spells entirely on defending the party.

	~~In ''IX''~~, the Paladin ~~loses its Agility~~ and ~~ability to instantly slay monsters~~ in ~~exchange for~~ a ~~much more durable body~~, ~~focusing~~ the ~~vocation's skills~~ and ~~spells entirely~~ on ~~defending the party~~.		Regardless of the game being played, the Paladin is dedicated to taking hits for weakened party members and bearing the brunt of enemy assault. Though this puts them at great risk of being killed in a single turn, doing so keeps the pressure off the rest of the party and allows the healer to focus on maintaining only one ally instead of three for a time.
