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.

===Usefulness===
====Usefulness====
The Paladin's innate ability to instantly kill one enemy is low even at rank 8, and will not work on bosses. As for the skills, Kerplunk isn't a useful skill except as a last resort. Forbearance and Selflessness are extremely useful, but extra care must be used when facing enemies that utilize multi-target skills and spells, as the Paladin will take up to '''four times''' the damage. Thin Air is a very useful skill as, like Wind Sickles, it grows stronger with higher levels. Pearly Gates is also useful but due to the fact that it only hits one group and it cost 20 MP to cast, you are better off using Thin Air.

In regards to career advancement, the Paladin can combine the mastered [[Gladiator]] class to become a [[Godhand]] and have access to some of the best offensive skills in the game.

===[[Dragon Quest VII Reimagined]]===
Paladin is unlocked by matering the [[Martial Artist]] and [[Priest]] vocations.
 
Paladins excel at defending and healing their allies with skills and spells like [[Kabuff]], [[Multiheal]], or [[Forbearance]]; though they can also do some damage to all enemies with powerful skills like [[Thin Air]] and [[Pearly Gates]].
 
Mastering Paladin and Gladiator allows brave adventurers to become [[Champion|Champions]]. Mastering Paladin and two other intermediate vocations allow a character to become a [[Hero (vocation)|Hero]].

The Paladin vocation is late in the game after completing Quest 106. Paladins have the unique skillset "Virtue", and can also use skill points to learn [[Hammer]], [[Spear]], [[Wand]], and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup de Grâce]] is "Knight's Watch," which prevents all damage and enrages all enemies.

Line 399: Line 459:
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.
