Paladin
The Paladin is a character class in the Dragon Quest Series.
Description
The Paladin has strong Strength, Speed and Wisdom. To open this class, a character must have mastered a number of skills from both the Priest and Fighter skill sets. In Dragon Quest VII, the paladin has a low chance of killing the enemy instantly, regardless of remaining HP. This chance rises when the higher rank the paladin is.
